Richard Shireby, G0OJF, playing the 1891 Forster & Andrews (tracker) pipe organ at St Michael's church, Heydour, Lincolnshire (UK). I had just finished tuning the organ, as this is one of the instruments my firm does the tuning on. This organ has a ratchet swell pedal rather than the more recent & Usual balanced type. This means playing the pedals with one foot whilst being expressive with the swell box using the other foot, which is obviously a bit of a compromise. Either no expression and properly articulated pedals...or less than perfect pedalling with no expression! The organ is 2 x 56 note manuals & 30 note pedals. NPOR registration number is D08551.

The swine! He has owed me for a bike since 1980. Just think: If this were to get out, we could ruin him! Right, here goes: Mr Newnes, Mr Wilson, Mr Hiley are teachers I remember from S. I used to be friendly with David Last, Simon Morgan and Tim Hale from those
days. I have to say, in all honesty, we were never in the same group of friends but I seem to remember that your father was a clergyman - possibly Whiston? This would explain your connection with church organs, perhaps.

Robert, Yes I did go to Sitwell. I'm sorry I can't place you at the moment. Were you in my class at Sitwell? James May still owes me an electronics magazine I lent him in 1974!

You may even have gone to Sitwell. Well that's you and James May who appear to have fascinating jobs. I can't imagine how I found my way to your postings other than that I am partial to a bit of Sibelius from time to time - so perhaps that was it. Robert Cook (this is my son's YouTube account.)
