Begone, Unbelief - Pitshanger Methodist Church, Ealing, London

Me playing the organ at Pitshanger Methodist Church in Ealing, London.

The organ was first built in 1921 by an unknown organ builder for a cost of £321. In 1955 the John Compton Organ Company Ltd completely rebuilt this instrument which included a new detached stopkey console, electric action, new casework and the addition of a 'Fagotto' reed stop. In 1995, the organ had new electric action installed by Rushworth and Dreaper. The specification reads:

Many thanks to the church officials for allowing me access to this beautiful Compton organ.
