Bringing back more goodies for you!

We're back & on the road running! Phew! That was a fun seven weeks giddy-gadding about in Germany, Italy and Switzerland. Lovely organs and even lovelier people to play with, and now we're back home with hard drives full of photos and suitcases fulll of washing. Little time to sit back though: Martin will be off to play at St Augustine's in Cashmere, Christchurch this coming Monday (details below) and I have my work cut out persuading Dudley that we didn't abandon him and please would he stop sulking and eat properly? And I also have to organise this month's giveaway. Keep reading! High notes on the hill this Monday For the second concert in the organ lunchtime series ‘High Notes on the Hill’, Martin Setchell returns to St Augustine’s, 5 Cracroft Terrace, Cashmere for this this special 'Happy Anniversaries' concert featuring music by composers with significant anniversaries in 2025 including Bach, Ravel, Strauss and Sir John Rutter and more. St Augustine's was the Concerts for Christchurch concert 'home' for five years after the 2011 earthquakes. Coffee to follow (just like the old days). Time:  Monday, August 25th, 1.10pm. Please book or enquire at [email protected] Puzzling Time Out I have been in awe of the beautiful and cleverly designed 1797 organ in Neresheim Abbey in Germany for many years, and a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to finally get there in person. What a beauty! It makes a perfect jigsaw puzzle which you can do online here  (or click on the picture) - and only 99 pieces so it should be a breeze. You can watch organist Paul Fey exploring the organ on this YouTube video here.  The generous people at Butz music publishing house in Bonn have provided us with more 2026 calendars to offer our newsletter subscribers. So here we are! More of my photos of German organs for you to continue yor exploration of instruments from big to small, old to new - and hopefully entice you to add Germany to your travel itinerary next time.
