The Sounds of the Summer event is being held this year on Saturday 2nd May at our Mixbury showroom. The remaining tickets are available from here; I suspect they will all sell out this week. This is an event not to miss for any organist.
This year Ian Tracey will be joined by Daniel Bishop, with them playing solo and duets through the day. In addition, focusing on hymn playing, there will be a teaching session where Ian will be using Dan as the Guinea pig! We will also find a way to squeeze in another popular Q & A session with Ian and Keith.
