Organ Recital Series 2026 - Fourth Performance 25th August 2026
We are delighted at how many people have been coming along to enjoy this year’s series of summer organ recitals. The next recital is at 1.00pm on Tuesday 25 August and will be given by John Walton.
John hails from Lancashire and is a graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music. In the past, he has held organist positions at Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan and Standish. He retired to New Quay in 2019 and gives regular lunchtime recitals at Tabernacl Chapel there. John played for us as part of both the 2024 and 2025 summer recital series, and his programme this year will range from J S Bach through to the present time, including one of John’s own compositions.
Entry to the recital is £5.00 on the door and everyone is very welcome to stay and socialise over tea, coffee and cake after the performance.
The overall proceeds of the recital series help us to meet the regular tuning and maintenance costs for the significant historical organ at St Peter’s, so we are always very grateful for your support.
