What do you think of when you think of organ music? Do you even think about organ music? Organ music is not only for the church. The organ is a lot more interesting than you think: every organ is completely different. Organists too. Mostly...

The Royal Variety Show! 👑 We are rolling out the red carpet this Friday night!

Join me tomorrow at 10:00 PM CEST for a very special, crossover event: The Royal Pipe Organ Variety Show! We aren't just playing music for literal kings and queens—we are bringing together the absolute "royalty" of the music industry and seeing what they sound like on a massive pipe organ.

Expect roof-raising classical grandeur from Handel, epic rock anthems from Queen and Prince, and some swinging jazz from the aristocracy of the big band era, like Duke Ellington and Count Basie!

If you have friends or family who think the pipe organ is just for boring church services, this is the perfect stream for them!

Set your reminders here, get your drinks ready, and I'll see you in the royal box tomorrow night!

An Important Update & A Special Private Concert for Vanessa ❤️

Hello everyone,

I am reaching out today with some difficult personal news, but also with a plan for how we can come together to help.

Earlier today, Vanessa was the unfortunate victim of a sophisticated phishing attack. The scammers were able to access her private bank account, and she lost a considerable amount of money. While she has immediately blocked her account and filed an official fraud report with the local police in Koblenz (I have attached a copy of the police report to this post for transparency (private details redacted)), the reality is that it is highly unlikely she will receive any reimbursement from the bank.

This has obviously been a devastating and incredibly stressful day for her.

As a community, we have always looked out for one another. To help Vanessa recover some of the stolen funds and alleviate this massive financial stress, I am putting on a special, one-off Private Livestream Concert this week. We are going to do what we do best: gather around the organ, play some beautiful music, and lift each other up.

🎯 Our Community Goal:
To make a real dent in what was lost, our goal is to get 50 to 60 people to join us on Wednesday night. If we can hit that target together, it will alleviate a massive amount of the financial burden Vanessa is facing today. Every single ticket gets us closer.

Here are the details:

When: Wednesday April 15 at 10:00 PM CEST

Where: A private, unlisted YouTube Livestream (Ticket holders only)

Tickets: A minimum donation of €20 (If you wish to donate more, you are incredibly welcome to do so!)

How to get your ticket:

Click the payment link below to make your donation.

Support Vanessa (Private Concert Ticket): www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/YB3GARV8FUJ8C

Once your payment is processed, I will email you the private YouTube link to join the concert on Wednesday night. (Please make sure your email address is visible in the PayPal notes so I know where to send your invitation!)

If you cannot attend the live broadcast on Wednesday but would still like to help Vanessa out, any donation through the link above is deeply appreciated - the concert will remain online so you can tune in at a later date.

Thank you all for being such a wonderful, supportive community. Let’s turn a truly awful situation into an evening of beautiful music and solidarity.

I look forward to seeing you at the console on Wednesday.

See you in the chat,
Fraser

C) The Royal Albert Hall
(Drop your guess in the comments, and I'll reveal the answer tonight!)

I met Ben earlier today - completely by chance - and we had a fun chat about the current state of organ affairs (!) in the UK and beyond. He mentioned this video - you MUST watch it. He posted it as an April Fools’ - or did he?🤔

What do you think? Are his comments justified. You all know my answer…😇
