    Loving your channel. It ticks so many boxes: travel, scenery, old churches, history and lush gorgeous organ music. Wishing you a wonderful 2024!
  • It takes real skill, taste and appreciation to bring the best out of these small village organs, and yet they have made so, so much musicality over the century (or more) that they've served their churches. Thank you for highlighting them, their people, their places, their history, and their repertoire.

    Happy New Year! Thank you so much for your you tube channel. We must keep classic church hymns and music alive. I also love seeing the old English churchyards and landscapes you provide. Just stunning!

    Beautiful musicianship in another beautiful church! I can’t decide which is my favorite thing about your videos. The history you provide, the beautiful scenery, the historic churches, your masterful organ playing, or your delightful wit? Love it all so much!

    I live in a farming community where we raise cattle. I love the underlying feeling of the farming community and feel so much kinship with these tiny English communities. Of course, we don’t have your deep cultural roots, but, for better and worse, farmers are farmers! Haha. Your appreciation of the small atmospheres of life is deeply appreciated. Thanks for your work, and totally happy New Year.

    Just stumbled across your channel and addicted already. The standard mould of cathedral organists was certainly broken when you came forth 😊 - remain jolly, informative and pompous-free!

    Happy New Year Ben! That finale was simply grand! “We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land” Thank you for reminding us of this beautiful hymn that was part of my childhood growing up in India- “All good gifts around us, Are sent from heaven above!!” ❤

    Another beautiful church and sublime organ playing. You make everything about these videos so interesting and gives us the opportunity to learn of the existence of these wonderful church’s that we might not necessarily know about. Thank you for all the wonderful music and videos this year. All the best for 2024.
  • We love you as a story teller. What a pleasure to listen and beautiful environments. Thank you. “Happy Holiday.”
  • @Anagrams458
    I come for the stories, the scenery, the churches and stay for the wonderful music. Thank you, God bless you, and Happy New Year.

    Happy New Year Ben. I came across your channel just before advent. Consequently I have had a glorious experience with your inspiring organ music. I am a Churchwarden of a church going through a difficult time, you have really cheered me up. God Bless You Ben. You are the crown prince of Church Music.

    I have been enjoying your videos. I love the reverence and love you have for these various old churches, and the passion you have for the instruments. Happy New Year :) -Rebecca
  • Hi Ben. As usual, a WONDERFUL and heartwarming creation from you. Happy new year to ALL here.
  • Lovely playing, lovely organ. I played "Unto us a boy is born" at last night's vigil mass. At the start of the last verse I went to "make the organ thunder" by adding a duel voice to the keyboard, got the wrong button, missed my intro and the result was silence. Fortunately the congregation are well used to my mistakes and carried on singing anyway.
  • Will some television company give this man a show? He does more for the Church than than the Church does . Avid Welsh watcher.

    Your presentations are most enjoyable and I look forward to each and every one of them. Thank You so very much for sharing these with us.

    There are some wonderful Churches tucked away in quiet parts of the UK, as a non stipendiary Priest, past retirement age, I have taken services in quite a few in my area. Last summer I was asked to take a service at Wormegay, Which Google has never heard of ( not far from Kings Lynn ). Fortunately I did a recce by motorcycle before hand and eventually found the church one and a half miles from the village down a small track , It had been a plague village of course. A lovely little Church. I find it sad that the villagers I spoke to were all retired people from cities who never knew they had a Church
  • Omega and Alpha he! Let the organ thunder. From squeaky harmonium to fantastic restored Walker organ is contrast indeed. I once attended a New Year service in Spanish Town Cathedral, Jamaica, where Mr Beckford had played the Walker organ for 60 years. Onwards and upwards in 2024, Ben!
  • Really loved hearing this magnificent organ, and thinking of the thousands of people who have taken their joys and sorrows with them into that church, hearing the organ to ease their sorrows or celebrate their joys.

    Every one of your videos makes me want more and more to visit your part of the world and experience for myself those environs and fascinating organs. Maybe this year it will be possible.
