Greatly enjoyed getting to know the wonderful rebuilt organ of York Minster last night ahead of playing for services during the residency of St Bart’s Penn choir until Sunday, taking over from Regent Records Gary Cole who played the first half of the week.

Playing the ‘Music in the Round’ concert tomorrow, Friday 16 August at 12:30pm in St Chad's Church. Admission is free. Lovely Norman & Beard organ restored by Harrison & Harrison who also added a Tuba…

This will be a great day: Ciará Preston Myakicheff (Soprano) & Isaac Boulter (Tenor), singing along with the choir, stepping out for their solos, with Paul Carr 💙, playing the piano. 'Afternoon Tea' will be 'truly scrumptious'. Do we need to say more? Details in post below ⬇️

Next Sunday, September 1st at 3pm, Paul Carr 💙 opens the new season of #SundayAfternoonOrganMusic with a programme of Overtures - orchestral transcriptions, organ originals, from the feather-light Nutcracker Overture to the full throttle of Hakim Naji’s Ouverture Libanaise.

It was lovely to play to a large audience at #SundayAfternoonOrganMusic Organ Music Wordsley today, and even more special to know just how far some audience members travel to hear live organ music. However, I think today Sherlocks_Exception wins that by a sizeable margin… great to meet you!

Paul Carr 💙 Organ Music Wordsley Thank you, Paul. Wonderful to finally meet you. The recital was so joyful and uplifting, I smiled through its entirety! Never too far to travel for great organ music in beautiful historic venues. 💐💐🎹🎶

Lovely to be working with Paul Spicer today accompanying his Choral workshop on Mendelssohn’s ’Hymn of Praise’ in Dore Abbey. Also marvellous to be accompanying the three fabulous soloists for the end of day performance. Great work from all involved - a lot of notes!
