Really, really O/T. Anyone know a very good organist?

One of the NSC moderators in an extremely accomplished musician and organist. He could be your man if he fancies doing it.

Edit: see post above...!

Which cathedral? Titanic you should do it - you are easily good enough for only the most discerning professional not to be happily impressed - aren't you?

If they want Sussex by the Sea... then maybe??

Looking on their website... if someone like their Senior Organ Scholar James Kealey is on offer... I would definitely go for him.

I have sung in Wells Cathedral but not played there... lovely place for a wedding!

Not sure of the names that have been offered; I'll check.

Yes, a truly lovely place for a wedding.

Shame about the groom-to-be, a bit of a chinless wonder. I didn't say that out loud, did I? Good.

Expecting lots of jokes about how everyone here is good at playing with their organ.

Personally, I would prefer if someone else did it - ladies only need apply.

I know a fellow Albion season ticket holder who is an accomplished organist. No idea if he's played cathedrals or would be up for a wedding gig but can ask if you're stuck ...

This is pretty out there, I know, but here goes.

A friend of mine is getting married in a cathedral in November and I said that I might be able to source an organist. I said this because I know (knew, as it turns out) a retired principal organist of St Pauls. On contacting him, I got a very nice email back from his widow saying that he'd died about 5 months ago.

Before I go back to the bride-to-be saying I can't help, I thought that someone on here might know of somebody of similar standing. Unlikely, I know, but...does anyone know anyone who's good enough and has played such an instrument before and who might be up for a gig in November?

Long shot, right?

Oh, applications from [MENTION=1416]Ernest[/MENTION] and [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION] discouraged.

Could you stick on a CD loudly, and have someone pretending to play?

Funny you say that, as that was my initial offer. She's got a fine line in withering, exasperated looks.

..Would be funny if he was a closet fan and member of this board!

I should have known that NSC would be able to deliver on this, perhaps the most obscure request I've ever made. Shame on me for doubting...

Good to see NSC pulling out all the stops
