I was away in Shrewsbury for a few nights, and one thing I wanted to do was to play the 4 manual Binns Organ of St Mary's Church in Shrewsbury, which is a 53 stop Binns organ, very similar to that of Nottingham Albert Hall and Rochdale Town Hall, behind a 1729 case by Harris and Byfield. This church is redunant and in the care of the CCT, and the organ while playable does suffer from some ciphers, and I think that is what made my camera image rather unfocused. I made five recordings in total, but I was rather unsatisfied with two of them, because I had a Hot Chocolate from Pret at Manchester Piccadilly, instead of coffee, as Coffee affects my playing at an organ. But the Hot Chocolate had the same effect, so excuse if my playing is a bit sloppy. For the first video, I play the hymn Christ is Made the Sure Foundation to the tune Westminster Abbey by Henry Purcell. Thanks to the volunteers and stewards of the church of let me play here, what a pleasure, despite the Hot Chocolate induced slopiness...
