Traditional Worship 01.23.11

Me playing "Camptown Races" on the 2 manual Wadsworth & Co pipe organ at Gee Cross Methodist Church in Hyde, Cheshire.

Here I am at Monton Methodist Church playing the very upbeat worship song "Shine Jesus shine" on the 2 manual Norwich electronic organ. The organ has 2 external speaker units installed in the roof at the front of the church and I have added pictures of these at the very end of this video for interest.

My second visit on my Worcester organ

A brief description of the Compton electrone organ and includes me playing the hymn "Christ be our light" on the Compton electrone organ model 363 at Portobello Methodist Church in Willenhall, West Midlands. The organ is located in an alcove at the front of the church on the right facing and the "rotofon" speaker is housed in a chamber behind an ornamental grille directly above the console.

Me playing Henry Mancini's beautiful "Moon River" on the 2 manual Young & Sons pipe organ at St Mary's Methodist Church in Handforth, Cheshire.

Me playing the old childrens tune "Polly put the kettle on" on the 2 manual Young & Sons pipe organ at Haughton Green Methodist Church in Denton, Manchester.

Me at the 2 manual Benson pipe organ at Styal Methodist Church, Cheshire playing "Lullaby of Birdland".

James Bond on the church pipe organ! Me playing "From Russia with love" on the 2 manual Young & Sons pipe organ at Manchester Road Methodist Church in Swinton, Salford.

Giving the 2 manual Wadsworth organ at Patricroft Methodist Church in Salford the theatre organ treatment with "Windows of Paris". Ironically, right next door to the church is the Lancastrian theatre organ trust heritage centre which is home to a Wurlitzer organ (originally from the Trocadero cinema, Liverpool) as well as many other theatre organ bits and bobs.

Me playing the Sixsmith organ at Wesley Methodist Church in Cadishead. The tune is Elvis Costello's "Mighty like a rose" - not the sort of thing normally played on a single manual instrument of just 5 speaking stops but I did this to prove that even the smallest of organs can be effective. I end the tune using the very delicate and beautiful Dulciana stop.

Giving the Cornopean stop of the organ at Glazebrook Methodist Church just outside Salford, Cheshire a workout with "Nellie the elephant"! The organ was originally built by "Pendlebury Organ Company". It is interesting in the fact that there is an enclosed choir division consisting of 3 stops playable on the Great.
