How many years at the organ?


  • I started the piano aged 12 (1958) and the organ at 17(1963). I was assistant at St Mark's Yeoville  from 1963. In 1972 I did play in some places on my travels - Jerusalem, Istanbul, Naples, Copenhagen. I recall some weddings at Our Lady of the Angels, Bayswater but it was not till we got to St Chad's South Norwood that I started again from 1975 and that was occasionally. I started at St Margaret's in 1981 and at Addiscombe in 1985 and I was there until 2004. Then 10 years at St Andrew Coulsdon to 2014. A period freelance then 3 years at St Michael Beckenham to 2017 and now 3 years at St John Caterham. So 57 - 2 = 55! I have been in choirs since age 7 so 73 - 7 = 66! 38 of those years I was in the Philharmonia Chorus.
