About Philip
Let me introduce myself to you!
I Started to learn the organ at 17 years of age, having had piano lessons from the age of ten. I was taught at St Georges Parish Church in Redditch on the Rushworh and Draper organ which the church had purchased from Queens College, Oxford in 1964.
In 1987 I was appointed organist at St Philips Church, Webheath, Redditch. As my first task, I was delighted to be asked to oversee a complete rebuild of the organ which included modifications, new stops and a new pedal board.
I also play at other churches within the Holy Trinity Parish in Redditch and the surrounding area.
In 1996 I was appointed Hon. Organist to the Guild of Servents of the Sanctury, making my debut at their autumn festival in Worcester Cathedral. Further engagements were held at the Abbey of Romsey, Tewkesbury and the Cathedrals of Bristol, Wakefield, Exeter, Derby, Lincoln, Newcastle, Newport and Liverpool.
Since Retiring in 2006 as a Senior Driving Examiner with the Driving Standards Agency, I am now able to commit more time to playing the organ and am available for Weddings, Funerals and Sunday Services in Worcestershire and South Warwickshire.
