I had the opportunity to attend a piano to organ conversion course at RIAM with David Adams in the first half of the year. An absolutely thrilling few months, and the opportunity to play some beautiful organs. Don't worry! I'm not giving up the piano just yet!
The beautiful organ in St Bartholomew's Church in Ballsbridge, originally built in 1887.
One of the reasons I took the course is that I am playing the Organ more and more in some of the beautiful local churches in the greater Blessington and Ballymore Eustace area. Open for weddings!
My second baby in St Mary's Church in Blessington... Originally made in 1890!
