🎗️ Dedicated with love to Ralf Cieslik, organist of Gackenbach — this concert is for him.

🎟️ Tickets from €15 — the same whether you're with us in the church or watching from home:

🎬🎹 SUNDAY NIGHT PREMIERE — Silent Film Night

This Sunday 6 September, Sunday Night becomes something special. I'm presenting Buster Keaton's 1923 masterpiece "Our Hospitality" with a full organ score - every chase, every gag, every death-defying stunt, accompanied the way silent cinema was always meant to be experienced.

The evening opens with a look behind the curtain at the near-lost art of silent film accompaniment - how it works, and why it brings a century-old film thrillingly back to life.

And I'll be right there live in the chat throughout, watching along with you. 🍿

🎟️ This is a ticketed Sunday Night premiere - minimum €15, via PayPal or Buy Me A Coffee. All I need from you is a valid email address, and your private viewing link will be sent to you 1-2 hours before the premiere begins. Do keep an eye on your inbox that evening!

Keaton. A restored classic. A live organ score. One night only. Take your seat. ❤️

About last night… 🎹😅

Well, that didn't go quite to plan, did it! If you tuned in, you'll know the audio was — to put it diplomatically — a disaster. The organ deserved far better than what came out of your speakers, and I'm sorry for that.

Here's the honest version of what happened. I've been testing a new mobile streaming setup, and when my usual method wouldn't cooperate, I fell back on YouTube's built-in webcam streaming as a last resort. Sadly, it's built for talking-head video — it compresses and limits audio on the assumption you're speaking, not playing a pipe organ. So all that beautiful dynamic range got flattened to mush. Lesson well and truly learned.

The good news: I know exactly what the problem *isn't* now, and I'm working through what it *is*. There's some gear and software to sort out behind the scenes — nothing that a bit of patient troubleshooting won't fix — and normal, proper-sounding service will resume very soon.

Thank you to everyone who chipped in with suggestions. Bear with me while I get the technical gremlins sorted, and we'll be back to the music sounding as it should in no time. See you online!

Tonight's stream is another "practice" session form the studio: What kind of piece should I study this time? It's going to be from the French Romantic repertoire - sorry to all the Bach fans out there 😂 Over to you!

No Toooooba tonight folks - I won’t be home in time! In addition, the Gartshores also haven’t had anything g to eat today, so by the time the Duchess and Princess are fed and watered, not to mention myself, it’ll be far too late!

Let’s do it next Saturday.

See you all tomorrow,

F
