Does
anyone know at what time the Johannus demonstration is to be at St Paul's
Catholic Church, Dulwich Hill, on Sunday 9 September - there was a brief
notice in last Sydney Organ Journal and perhaps the next Journal will be more
precise.

Owing to the APEC Public Holiday, lack of public transport and parking in the city and many unknown security issues in the Town Hall area of Sydney, we have decided it would be best to cancel the lunchtime organ recital on Friday 7th September, which was to be given by John Aitchison. John knew this may be the situation when he chose that date and so will use his program on a future date.
I post this on behalf of my colleague Greg Howard.

All the organ music which has been left to the Society for members to borrow has been uploaded to the website for members to peruse. (Go to the new "Library" page). When I was organising the collection some years ago, I remember that some of the music listed was beyond repair and could not be included. I did not have this listing at that time to make a note of what had to be thrown out, but I don't seem to remember it being a great deal so most of it should still be available. Thanks to Kathy Drummond for putting these two catalogues together for me to upload.
Please note that Andrej's recital at St Andrew's Cathedral tomorrow (Friday 2nd March) will have to start at 1pm (10 minutes earlier than usual) owing to a funeral commencing at 2pm. The funeral directors have advertised the funeral as starting at 1.45pm so people may be arriving earlier than expected and the recital will need to be finished by 1.30pm.
Please pass this message on to anyone you think might be attending and who doesn't get these messages.

Dear all,
I have done some more work on the appearance of the Society's website today after receiving several comments from those using laptops. These computers have much smaller monitors than most home computers so this meant that those viewing our site on laptops had to do a lot of scrolling back and forth. Having a menu down the left hand side of the page took up a lot of valuable space so I have removed this and inserted a drop down menu at the top of each page. I have also tweaked all the pages so that they rarely take up more than 800 pixels in width.
I have checked the site on several Mac browsers and all is OK. Could you please check the site http://sydneyorgan.com on your own computers and let me know if there are any problems, particularly with PCs. According to the site I got the information from on how to set up drop down menus, it should work on all browsers and computers. Hopefully this will be true!
I’ve had a quick look at the website
and it works fine on my laptop. It’s a Lenovo (IBM) which uses Windows
XP. However I’m fortunate in that mine has a wide screen which is 1680 by
1050 pixels so I wasn’t having to scroll with the previous website. I
went through various parts of the pulldown menu and all appeared to work well.
From time to time I’ve mentioned the
website on air, but sometimes I’m beaten by time. I have been recently
trying to cut the music part of the programme back a little to leave plenty of
time for some mention of the Society as well as the concert announcements, and
I will be continuing to aim that way. The 2MBS Programming Committee is rather
fussy and I have to tread a fine line here as they don’t like too much
talk relative to the music content.
Regards,
Andrew

I'll be presenting the Friday lunchtime recital at St
Andrew's this week, at the usual time of 1.10 pm.
The programme will consist of a Mendelssohn sonata (# 2,
predictably, since that's the easiest one, and the one
everyone plays); JSB's "Dorian" Toccata & Fugue; and
Messiaen's "Le Banquet Celeste".
Gee it would be nice to have an audience.

Does anyone know of a London church of St Mark in Audsley Street? I came across a review of a late 1948 Decca recording by Jeanne Demessieux supposedly in this church where the organ was described as superlative, etc, etc, typical of the work of the English organ-builder at his best.
Does anyone have the recording or can verify details of the church and organ? Perhaps the church no longer exists.
Any comments or hints would be useful. I have checked Wikipedia and Googel lists of London churches but without result.
I have just realised dates I sent about Petersham church are wrong in case anyone is really interested. Reopening function on SATURDAY 11 November 3-5 pm. Jazz concert on Saturday 25 November 2-5 pm.
I have just heard from Marrickville Heritage Society that All Saints' Church, Petersham, is being re-opened on afternoon of Sunday 11 November after three years renovation. A Jazz concert is to be held from 2-5 pm, so obviously the organ has continued to languish if even still there. I wonder what the renovations involved - surely not removal of the fine woodwork surrounding the chancel, holy table, and so on - but I would not be surprised igiven the current Sydney Diocese atitudes.
