A competition I set up in 1986. Glad to see it’s still going strong!

An enjoyable and inspiring day back at my old school, adjudicating the music competition. So much brilliant work from students and staff, great to see state school music thriving here. @HBSCreativearts

An Organist’s Plan to Save Energy

Play by candlelight
Use only hand-pumped organs
Sing hymns unaccompanied Eschew large pedal pipes – an expensive draught
Keep voluntaries to one page
Avoid repeats
Keep speeds brisk & to the point
Purchase a good supply of Fishermens Friends

[Chris Muhley @cdmusak]

And jolly well sung, too!
