How very strange to have most of the organ enclosed in boxes, but in order not to sound too nerdy, see more on The Organ.

[DracoM]

OK, I get it.

Note that this service will now be closed to the general public

[ardcarp]

..therefore even better for local people that services are broadcast live. BTW Mr Bielby must surely be one of the longest serving DOMs. I see he is 'Emeritus'. Does this mean he's standing in for someone?

Wakefield Cathedral website suggests that the broadcast itself is cancelled.

He retired in 2010! The current DOM is Thomas Moore, who he's presumably standing in for.

Wouldn't that be a locum?
An emeritus professor giving a lecture isn't (necessarily) standing in for anyone: it's a title given because of a previously held position.

Sadly yes.

They routinely upload their services to YouTube so have built up quite an archive:

[Miles Coverdale]

The archbishops announced earlier today that all public worship is suspended until further notice.

[Vox Humana]

The Wakefield broadcast has been replaced with an archive one from Birmingham Cathedral. I have placed the details in a new thread. I guess we are going to be seeing even more archive broadcasts in the near future.

[DracoM]

Many thx. Have been very occupied elsewhere and only just seen this.

Off to pedants' corner with you Pulcs.

Off to pedants' corner with you Pulcs.

Oh, I'm quite often found there!
