William Whitehead

Lincoln's Inn Chapel.

Fabulous Lincoln's Inn Chapel for a hugely entertaining and vivid lunchtime organ recital by friend @williamwhitehead.bsky.social (programme to follow). It was revamped in the 1870s, but feels all of a piece, with 17th century stained glass at the sides and dazzling heraldry in the east window.

Full programme of Tuesday’s recital. Do pop along. Beer at Roxy’s establishment afterwards.

Enjoying it for its own sake: there is much we don't know about 17th-century Exeter organist John Lugge but on this new disc William Whitehead leaves us engaged & intrigued Enjoying it for its own sake - review: organist William Whitehead in Forbidden Fruit, music by 17th c. Exeter organist John Lugge on Editions Hortus

[REVUE DU WEB]
"Nous ignorons beaucoup de choses sur John Lugge, organiste d’Exeter du XVIIe siècle, mais ce nouveau disque de @williamwhitehead.bsky.social nous captive et nous intrigue."

So excited this has finally come to fruition :)) Have a listen to these Jacobean pieces, and the superb organ at Bolbec, Normandy.

Ooooooff we go with Gabrieli Roar Week 3. Heater on bench very much welcome 🥶

Cheeky mid-concert shot from the organ loft (note wholesome loft Xmas lights). Emma Walshe singing beautifully. #CarlisleCathedral #GabrieliConsort #HalfWayThrough

No.

Nearly halfway on the monster Gabrieli Consort Xmas tour. Coventry Cathedral last night, Blackburn tonight. Here are J Budd and I in a Coventry Wetherspoons channelling the season.🎄

I like your style!

You are out of the game if you hear Wham’s ‘Last Christmas’, that evergreen of synth pop, before Christmas Day. Likewise, Harkageddon for the more classically minded. If you avoid taxis, shopping centres, televisions, radios and pubs, you may stand a chance.

Twice Whamageddoned already and it’s not even December! 🎄

There’s no end to the awe Ely Cathedral inspires.

And so begins 2 and a half weeks of crazy! #GabrieliConsort #GeorgianChristmas #Portsmouth #Norwich #Ely #Coventry #Blackburn #Carlisle #Hull #York #Exeter #Truro #Bristol

This is real, folks. They’re coming for music, next.
