 ORGANIST-BASE
A database of
organists around Oxfordshire
Below is an alphabetical
list of names and contact details for organists who may be called upon
to help out with normal services, weddings and funerals. The list
is mainly aimed at organists in the area , clergy and funeral
directors as a growing resource to locate help when the normal organist
is unavailable.
The list is not intended
to convey individual skills, but to help locate alternative organists.
If fees are charged, then these are negotiated separately and out of the
remit of this resource. |
