Tell me the old, old story - Chris Lawton at Upper Caldecote Methodist Church, Biggleswade

Me playing the organ at Upper Caldecote Methodist Church just outside Biggleswade, Bedfordshire.br br The organ was originally built by the John Compton Organ Company Ltd in 1948 and is the 3 rank 'Miniatura' model. In around 1995 the organ was overhauled by David Miller of Cambridge. This included installing solid-state action, a large scale Diapason rank, unenclosed and playable on the great and a few tonal alterations. The specification reads:br br PEDALbr Sub Bass 16'br Diapason 8'br Flute 8'br Fifteenth 4' *br Great to Pedalbr Swell to Pedalbr br GREATbr Tenordon 16'br Open Diapason 8' *br Gemshorn 8'br Hohl Flute 8'br Principal 4' *br Gemshorn 4'br Octave Quint 2.23'br Fifteenth 2' *br Swell to Greatbr br SWELLbr Diapason 8'br Gemshorn 8'br Hohl Flute 8'br Octave 4'br Flute 4'br Nazard 2.23'br Flautina 2'br Octavebr Tremulant (affects whole organ)br br ACCESSORIESbr 3 double touch thumb pistons to Great and Pedalbr 3 double touch thumb pistons to Swell and Pedalbr 1 canceller thumb piston - Great to Pedalbr 1 canceller thumb piston - Swell to Pedalbr 1 general cancel thumb pistonbr 1 balanced expression pedal - organbr 1 balanced expression pedal - crescendobr Double touch canceller to each departmentbr Voltmeterbr br * denotes new unenclosed Diapason rankbr br Im playing the hymn 'Tell me the old, old story which makes use of several different tone colours available on this instrument.br br Many thanks to the stewards and organist for allowing me access to this fine instrument and for such a wonderful welcome.br br NOTE: this is purely my interest in order to make sure that these fine organs are archived forever and I do not make any monetary profit by this video being on dailymotion.
