  • Hi Stephen, it's nice to find young people interested in pipe organs. I'm Director of Music at St Michael's Retford, which is just down the road from Harworth. We have a 2 manual Father Willis installed in the chancel. If you would like to come and play it - drop me a line :)

  • @FatherWillisOrganist ....thankyou for your kind comment :) I shall certainly consider your offer of playing at Retford, however I do play the theatre organ and not classical/church organ.

  • Great Playing 5 Stars from me

    Where abouts is Howorth Is it the one in yorkshire?

  • hi, Harworth is at the far side of Doncaster however at the moment it is not playable due to recent troubles involving the building the organ is situated in.....the first concert is in September and then I am hoping to start practicing there again

  • A nice quirky & pacey rendition of Little Red Monkey. Great to see someone of your age playing it - and I say that as son of the person who wrote the piece way back in 1953!

  • Thanks alot for the compliment!!!!

  • LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOVE! The song, the instrument, and talent! KUDOS!

  • Yo Grudge, this is a mesmerising performance of a super tune and it's been playing here for days. It's over so fast we have to keep restarting - about time you put up the 12 inch extended remix! How nice also to receive praise from the Jordan family 2 years ago

  • It's too fast, it's too short, and it's brilliant. It's been here 4 years and just discovered. What a fine rendition. Thanks for the sharing of this fabulous galloping tune

  • @gudge8 The theatre repertoire can be played equally well on church organs. Although they're based on Diapson tone rather than Tibias - I'm currently practising Chattanooga Choo Choo to play after Mass on Sunday 4th July Most of the theatre/church organ controversy is largely due to the snobbery of a previous generation of church organists. Thankfully attitudes have now changed for the most part. Michael

  • Great video, love the song. Very well played and very nice acoustics too!
