Sounds Organic is a monthly recital series at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Wangaratta. It coincides with the Wangaratta Farmers' Market that is held on the cathedral grounds. The recitals run at 9am, 10am and 11am to give visitors the chance to hear the magnificent Willis organ whilst enjoying the fresh produce that the region provides. Thank you to Director of Music, Kieran Crichton, for the invitation to play.

On Shrove Tuesday, I performed this lunchtime organ recital as a replacement for someone who was unable to perform today. I chose pieces that began with the roots of organ music with Bach and Buxtehude, a little detour into 21st century compositions, then ending with the magnificent French piece, "Carillon de Westminster" by Louis Vierne. I hope you enjoyed my recital!

I stopped playing tennis over a decade ago because life got in the way. Adulting, marriage and kids contributed to this but I wouldn't change it for the world. A couple of years ago, I got back into tennis again with a coach. My goal wasn't to play leagues or matches, but simply for fitness. However, this season, I decided to enter a Singles Flex League. We schedule two matches for each player in the 6 man league, on any mutually agreed surface and time. The format is two sets to 6 (tiebreak at 6 all) and a match tiebreak to 10 if a third is required.

In this video I upgrade my off-grid solar shed setup. I replaced a 45W solar panel with a 100W flexible panel, which was easier to install and more aesthetically pleasing. I show you the installation process and demonstrates the panel's ability to power various devices in my shed.

I felt guilty for not recording any of Graham's music for a while, so I decided to honour the composer and friend, that he is, with a recording of his "Aria". Graham confesses that this piece is an homage to Flor Peeters, a Belgian organist and composer who has a famous Aria as well. I play it much faster than Graham does, but that's probably because I was so eager to play the piece for him. I recorded this at St. Matthew's Church in Albury and the organ specification is here:

This prelude comes from Bédard's collection of "Two Voluntaries on Hymn Tunes". PIED-DE-PORT is a Basque traditional melody harmonised by Patrick Wedd and is featured in the text of “Heavenly Message,” written by Paul Gibson in 1998.
