Story
The organ of All Saints is a very special historic instrument in a very special Grade 1 listed building. It was designed by Adolph von Holst - Gustav's father - and built by the illustrious organ builders, Hill & Son.
After 125 years of service, it needs some essential work and I want to play my part in saving this magnificent instrument for future generations. At 10pm on June 16th, I will launch my Organ Marathon. With only short essential stops, I will play for 24 hours, music from across the ages, styles and genres. If you can't sleep, join me on All Saints Livestream - I will be there!
You can play your part too. Please help me rescue this magnificent organ by sponsoring me. Request your favourite piece (for a minimum of £20- depending what it is!) although I can't guarantee it will be played when you are awake! But do come and listen during the day.
Donations will go directly to help repair key parts of the organ during 2023. Thank you.

I am fortunate to have played on some of the best organs across the UK, both as a Church Musician and as a recitalist. The Holst organ at All Saints is also a very fine instrument indeed. Join me in my daring endeavour to raise funds to carry out much needed repairs!
