Does The Organist Entertains on Radio 2 do more harm than good?
steve edwards |
/ #73 the organist entertains!2014-01-30 20:49I have been playing the organ professionaly for nearly forty years,incuding theatre pipe/Hammond organs, and various electronics. My first love is the theatre/cinema pipe organ, but i think that the show needs to look back at its roots. in the begining when it was hosted if i remmember correctly by robin richmond,it was mostly theatre and hammond, with the odd lowery/conn/farfisa etc thrown in.but it was moving forward with the times even then. as the show progressed into the 70s and early 80s it encompassed all makes and types of organs, keyboards and the up and coming players of the day. from the likes of technics/yamaha/kawai etc and i really enjoyed listening to the various instruments and players,and was a way of keeping up to date with new developments. not so now.! the show has been reduced in length to 30 mins. this in itself is far too short for such a show.(i think the concert diary slot has been removed as well) i think nigel was,and still is a fine and very knowledgeable presenter,and superb musician. but his hands are tied. I believe the bbc needs to take a look at the organ scene and get the show back to what it was originally, i.e an informative and entertaining show aimed at organists and others who simply enjoy listening to the instruments. a quick search of you tube would open the bbc's eyes as to the amount of insruments, both pipe and digital electronic, and some very fine players from all around the world. I hope the collective input of this petition will help to save a show which used to be the best.... |

Do the trees like being lighted?
There is an increasing trend of putting fairy lights or Christmas lights around the trees. Trees are most readily available props. While the lighting on trees converts the whole place have a dreamy romantic look, what makes me wonder if the trees agree. Are they getting tortured being subject to the harsh light, forever. Though we may argue that trees don't feel the pain, but please think beyond. These lights create light pollution and disturb the night ecosystem along with disturbing the plants...
