Please come along to the SpiritFest lunchtime organ recital I'm playing at 1pm today (Friday 4 July) at Commemoration Methodist Church in High Street. It's a quieter programme, in terms of volume - though I will work up to Full Organ for Dubois' 'Fiat Lux' (Let there be Light) at the end!

Entrance is free, with a retiring collection.
