I spent an enjoyable weekend with Anne on the Isle of Wight from 15-18 September, culminating in my ‘snagging’ visit to Andrew Cooper’s outstanding restoration of the Mutin Cavaillé-Coll organ in Quarr Abbey. A beautiful and effective instrument dating from 1912, it now probably sounds better than it ever has. Congrats to Andrew, to Adrian Mumford (main consultant) and to Abbot Xavier.
