As Director of Music and Organist at All Saints, James oversees the well regarded organ recital series held at All Saints each year.  Go to www.allsaintschelt.net for more details.

He enjoys performing on this special organ, designed by Adolf von Holst, the father of composer Gustav Holst. As a choirboy, listening to his father playing this organ, it is almost certainly the case that here is where the young Gustav first discovered his love of and talent for music. Certainly his early compositions were written for this organ, including the lovely carol, 'In the Bleak Midwinter'.

James says;

" It is a privilege to play the organ of All Saints week by week in  Sunday services. Performing a recital, however, always gives the organist a chance to demonstrate the true colours and variety of the instrument "
