Unfortunately these sound extracts are temporarily disabled. Sorry - but if you sign up to our newsletter we will let you know when they become available again. 
These sound (extracts only) come from various CDs that were recorded in the organ's short 13-year-old life and all of them were recorded by organ curator Martin Setchell. Although the Bonbons for Organ series and Let the Pealing Organ Blow are no longer available in stores, they can be bought as single track downloads from many sources on the internet, such as iTunes, and Amplifier, or even second-hand.
