Last Sunday afternoon we enjoyed a most splendid inaugural organ recital given by our very own fantastic Parish Organist, Catherine Harris. Everyone present enjoyed hearing the newly installed instrument at S Anthony’s as Catherine’s superb programme allowed the organ’s full potential to be sounded. If you’d like to see the recording of the recital please use this YouTube link: https://youtu.be/aibOi_Z2yIo Thank you!
