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...
I hope you are currently recovering on the sofa surrounded by chocolate wrappers.
While the Advent Calendar is finished, the music isn't over yet! We have three major events left to squeeze every last drop of joy out of 2025.
Here is the schedule for the "Gartshore Grand Finale":
1️⃣ TONIGHT: The "Musical Leftovers" Special 📅 Friday 26th Dec | 22:00 CET It’s Boxing Day (St. Stephen's Day), so tonight is a relaxed, fun stream. We are clearing the table of all the carols we missed during Advent (including Good King Wenceslas!). Grab a turkey sandwich and join me for a chill-out session.
2️⃣ SUNDAY: The 2025 Studio Finale "That Was The Year ThatWas" 📅 Sunday 28th Dec | 22:00 CET This will be the final livestream from the home console this year. We are going to look back at the musical highlights of 2025, play your absolute favorites, and sign off the Sunday series with a bang.
3️⃣ NEW YEAR'S EVE: Live in Concert at St. Josef! 📅 Wednesday 31st Dec | 22:30 CET For the big night, I am leaving the studio! I will be playing a LIVE Concert on the magnificent organ at St. Josef, Bonn-Beuel (Germany). Join me late-night as we sweep out the old year and welcome 2026 with a massive acoustic experience. This concert will NOT be streamed on YouTube! It's LIVE!
Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and let's finish the year on a high note! 🎹🚀
Merry Christmas to the best "Wind Supply" on the internet! 🌬️🎹🎄
An organ is really just a silent collection of metal and wood until the wind gets pumped into it.
Well, this channel is much the same. It’s just me sitting in cold churches and my lonely music room talking to myself until the "Gartshore Gang" shows up in the comments and brings it all to life.
Thank you for providing the wind for my musical sails this December! It has been a massive month, and I couldn't have done it without your enthusiasm.
Have a truly magical Christmas Day, wherever you are in the world.
I just caught a glimpse of Vanessa’s laptop (while she was supposed to be resting!) and she looked... well, a bit disappointed. I’ve been seeing your comments about a "Secret Wishlist," and I get the feeling her Christmas "takeover" isn't quite going to plan.
I still don’t know exactly what’s on that list, but I do know how hard she’s worked to organize things for the channel while being so poorly. If she’s trying to organize a "Final Push" for something the channel needs, I’d hate for her to be stressed about it on Christmas Eve!
If you know what she’s up to, or if you want to help her finish whatever mission she started, could you head over to the BMAC page and check it out?
Let’s see if we can turn that frown upside down for her before the big day! 🎄✨
It is currently a 50/50 split on whether tonight's stream happens. Vanessa is resting, and I am waiting to see if I get the "Thumbs Up" or the "Keep it Quiet" signal.
Here is the plan: keep your notifications ON. 🔔
If you see a notification at 19:00 CET, it means we made it! 🎉
If you hear nothing... assume I am on nurse duty and have a glass of mulled wine in my honor. 🍷
I wanted to give you a quick update regarding tonight's "Friday Night Is Organ Music Night."
As many of you know, Vanessa has been fighting a nasty bout of pneumonia. She is still very unwell, so the status of tonight's livestream is currently uncertain. I will make a final decision later this afternoon based on how she is feeling, but please be prepared that we might have to cancel or do a very short, low-key session.
🎁 HOWEVER... Vanessa still has a Christmas mission!
Vanessa added a few items to our Buy Me A Coffee Wishlist recently—things she was hoping we could rustle up for our Christmas celebrations. If you were thinking of sending a gift or treating the "Producer" for all her hard work this year, we need to get our skates on! ⛸️💨
By the way - I still have no idea what's on there and I'm not cheating either - I want it to be a surprise (as long as it's not socks...!)
Shipping deadlines are hitting right now. If we want these items to arrive in time for the big day, they need to be ordered ASAP.
🎄 Have you missed a door on the Advent Calendar? We are officially 18 days into our musical marathon! 🏃♂️🎹
From the jazz-club vibes of "Winter Wonderland" to the ancient peace of "Quem Pastores" and the thunderous German hymns like today's "Macht hoch die Tür"—we have covered a lot of musical ground already.
If life has been busy and you've missed a few uploads, I have put them all in one place for you.
Pop quiz for the Gartshore Gang: Which video has been your favorite so far this month? The Jazz? The Hymns? Or the Improvs? Let me know in the comments! 👇
Hi folks! Thank you for the get-well-soon wishes for Vanessa from last night - she's feeling just as rotten as yesterday! Fingers crossed I don't get it - gathering from recent livestream chats, there's quite a bit of it about around the world. I hope you're all healthy and staying safe.
V has told me to post something here to let you all know she's taken over the Buy Me A Coffee Wishlist for the Christmas season. I have no idea what she's up to and I'm not allowed to find out either... So don't tell me 😇😂 Apparently there's also a post on Buy Me A Coffee to explain what's going on.
😷🦠No Sunday Night Is Organ Night tonight I’m afraid. Vanessa has come down with the flu that’s doing the rounds and I’m on Bundle Of Joy duties for the next few nights. In the meantime, here’s a link to my December playlist - check out the videos, share, leave a comment - you know what to do!

🤔 Okay, I’m officially suspicious... what’s going on?
I just caught a glimpse of Vanessa’s laptop (while she was supposed to be resting!) and she looked... well, a bit disappointed. I’ve been seeing your comments about a "Secret Wishlist," and I get the feeling her Christmas "takeover" isn't quite going to plan.

✅ WE ARE 100% CONFIRMED! Tonight we find out who's on the Naughty List... 😈🎹
Good news, Gartshore Gang!
The decision has been made, the console is powered up, and tonight's "Sunday Night Is Organ Music Night" is officially A GO! 🟢
We are celebrating the 4th Sunday of Advent with a special theme: "Naughty & Nice."
We are going to split the playlist right down the middle:
😇 The "Nice" List: Beautiful, traditional Carols, solemn Advent hymns, and the classics that make Christmas feel sacred.
😈 The "Naughty" List: Jazzy toe-tappers, swinging improvisations, and the fun, secular tunes that get the party started!
Get your requests ready! Which side are you on tonight? Do you want a swinging "Jingle Bells" or a peaceful "Silent Night"?
