    And a complaint about it:

    No, that's not the case (in either sense!). The pic of TT is his own publicity pic taken in front of his titular post instrument in Birmingham Town Hall.

      That is much more appropriate - the one ardcap was suggesting seemed inappropriate was this:

        Indeed. Buckfast is a gem, but although there is no traditional case on show, the main departments are indeed in 'cabinets' (not a very adequate description) which modify and focus the sound. It's an organ with a French accent, and about as different from the RFH as one could imagine. It's in need of a bit of TLC and the original Walker console is a bit unwieldy to use. Pity they can't throw a million quid at that one.
        There's a new DoM there now - I wonder what he'll manage to do.

          Well, if Bulmer's Cider could pay for Hereford's rebuild, they've got plenty of Tonic Wine......

            I heard "Bucky" is a favorite plonk in Scotland amongst certain elements up there. I am sure it will get attention being such a notable organ but it is just a case of getting the money together. I know Father Sebastian Wolf would have been really behind this but I am not sure if he is still with us. He is/was a very fine player and improvisor but he must be pushing 90 now if he is still with us
