A little bit of exciting news… I’ve recorded a new series for @BBCRadio3 with @TandemProUK! It’s called ‘A view from the organ loft’ and it explores some of the incredible instruments and venues I’ve been lucky enough to perform in over the past year. It starts this Saturday at 1pm 😍 I really hope you enjoy it!! It’s been a dream of mine to have a series on Radio 3 for such a long time, so this is all rather exciting ❤️
