Testimonials
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your amazing playing today. I felt completely at ease having you on the organ, it truly made the event and I’ve had so many people contact me to say how brilliant you were.
Please do pass on our thanks to Simon for accompanying the choir so well and ending each service with remarkable voluntaries.
I just wanted to say a huge ‘thank you’ for yet again accompanying the choir and making the Rutter come alive last night! It was quite a challenge for the choir to sing, and from what we could see of the organ part, probably not a walk in the park for the instruments either!
I wonder sometimes what life was like before Simon Dinsdale. He has the patience of a saint and the talent of someone who should be performing organ recitals all over the world. We are very fortunate to have such a warm working relationship with him. What a wonderful musician.
It’s always lovely for the choir to have such a supportive organist. It really brings out the best in us.
The Singers must have enjoyed being accompanied by Simon Dinsdale on the organ. If a concert is to have a hero you would be hard pressed to find better as he was a master craftsman and made the instrument sing in a way I find hard to recall in the thirty years or so I have known the Minster. He adapted wonderfully well to the variety of musical styles and I froze when, at the end of ‘Glory to God’, by some miracle, he made the angels vanish into thin air above the plains of Bethlehem.
