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 have a confession to make... I think I'm in love. ❤️

The new Steinmeyer organ (from Organ Art Media) has completely taken over the studio this week. It is quite possibly the new "Gold Standard" for Hauptwerk, and I honestly can't stop playing it. So, I’ve decided to make it the star of the entire weekend!

Here is the plan:

🔴 TONIGHT (Friday): The Ultimate All-Rounder? I’m putting this organ to the test. I claim it’s a "Must Have" that can play almost anything—from epic film scores to English Cathedral tunes. I'm even going out on a limb to say it might be better than the real thing... Come watch me prove it! ⏰ 22:00 CET

🟡 SATURDAY: Toooooba Time! For the Gartshore Gang Illuminati (Members Only). You know the drill, you know the place. 😉

🔴 SUNDAY: Soothing Sunday Songs We are sticking with the Steinmeyer, but shifting gears completely. Join me for a relaxing, peaceful evening of music to recharge you for the week ahead. The lush string stops and soft flutes on this organ are just... chef's kiss. 👌 ⏰ 22:00 CET

See you in the chat!

The organ world has lost one of its finest. Legendary organist and presenter Nigel Ogden passed away on Tuesday at the age of 71. RIP old friend.

Hello folks! 'In case you were wondering, my website is currently offline - there was a hacking attempt on the site. Don't worry, they didn't get in or have access to any data, but in order to make sure it doesn't happen again, I'm making the site more secure for the future.

🎆 The Final Countdown: 3 Events to Ring in the New Year!

Merry Christmas (Part 2) / Happy Boxing Day, everyone! 🎄

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.

🤔 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.

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! 🎄✨

✅ 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"?

Good afternoon Gang!

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. 🍷

Place your bets in the comments: Yes or No? 👇

(P.S. While you wait, don't forget the Christmas Wishlist is ticking down! buymeacoffee.com/frasergartshore/wishlist)
