If Eddy's comments are anything to go by he had a very limited repertoire (funny that Kirsty never mentioned his prowess non the organ when she was going out with him)Originally posted by Lento View PostComment

Patrick was repeating the pieces he had intended to play before the service. He was saving the reprise of his Easter Day triumph until its planned moment later in the service.Comment

I almost never listen, but by default today...well, it just had to happen
The 'organist' doesn't know the parish rules, obviously.
1. Allow up to ten minutes of normal rambling for bridal lateness
2. Fill the next 5 minutes with improvisation upon 'Oh why are we waiting' letting the tune become decreasingly concealed as the minutes tick on
3. Fill the next 5 with some very, very loud chords approaching the threshold of pain but every so often go pppp so that the congregation's bellowed conversation is suddenly and embarrassingly revealed
4. Stop playing altogether
5. Go into the choir vestry (or in these fussy times outside) for a fag
6. Send a chorister with an envelope containing your overtime fee to the best man, and don't go back to the console until it's paid
7. When (if) the bride finally condescends to her nuptials, play everything at double speed (not bothering with those annoying SQs in the LH of the Widor).Comment

Update: Last night in true soap style the bride was left standing at the altar, so the organist never got to play.Comment
