Me playing the organ at Immaculate Heart of Mary and St Dominic Catholic Church in Homerton, London.

The organ is the now extremely rare 347 model built by the John Compton Organ Company Ltd in 1957 for the church following rebuild after extensive damage during world war two. The 347 was the first electronic model to be produced by Compton in the post war years. Unlike later models, the tone generators, relays and amplifiers are contained in an external cabinet rather than the console. The specification reads:

For this video I am playing the hymn 'Promised Lord and Christ is he' to the tune 'Hark my soul' from the Catholic hymnal.

Many thanks to the parish priest for kindly allowing me access to the church to play what is now an extremely rare instrument.

One thing to note - I am certainly no wizard of an organist but hope this video is able to give an illustration of what a Compton 347 electrone sounds like.
