Star Organs of Britain 2018 features some little known treasures from my home county, Norfolk, together with glimpses of some organs not normally open to the public. St Andrew the Less, Cambridge, also known as The Abbey Church, is one such. The exquisite organ case designed by the Rev'd John Gibson houses an instrument thought to be by George Dawson. Both are currently under threat while the future of the building is debated. Elsewhere, we feature two little known examples of the work of Bodley & Garner, at Ecchinswell and Grimston, the latter containing a memorial tablet to Thomas Bodley, G F Bodley's brother. Our cover photograph features an early example of the English neo-classical organ, the Cedric Arnold, Williamson & Hyatt instrument from 1965 described by Cecil Clutton as 'an indisputable masterpiece'. Finally, some early small organs by William Hill, 1846, at Butterton, and John Nicholson, 1845, at Chetwode. Not to be missed!

Dear Organ-lovers, some of you may know that for several years I have been wrestling with a doctoral thesis about the Organs and Organists of Great Yarmouth Parish Church from 1733 until 1895. This is now entering its final stages and is hopefully due for submission next year. For this reason alone, I have decided not to issue a calendar for 2017 as I really need to get on with my research and see it completed in good time. Normal service will be resumed in 2018 as I am anxious to ensure continued publication and, from the letters I’ve received, I know how much you value the calendar as a record of the British Organ. I have recently upgraded my camera equipment which should see photographs of really sparkling quality in 2018. Please watch this space. Best wishes, Andrew Hayden
