Today I met Alastair Johnston, who is carrying out research into one of my favourite ‘small’ organ-builders – Roger Yates (1905-75). Willis-trained, his work was absolutely first-class and it was a joy to play and inspect this remarkably successful 2-manual of his in St Andrew’s, Kegworth church. Dating from 1953, it’s much the same age as me, but shows it rather less!
