Commemorating the restoration of Hereford Cathedral's historic Willis organ, a new edition of The Organists and Organs of Hereford Cathedral has been published.
Cathedral organist Geraint Bowen, himself featured in the book, and co-editor Tim Symons, have spent many hours researching and discovering new facts and photographs.
"Although we thought the previous editions were detailed, we hope anyone with an interest in organs will find this new version even more stimulating," Geraint said. "Although the musical influence of the instrument at the cathedral will be obvious, we hope that profiling its involvement and that of the organists, with the Three Choirs Festival programme will demonstrate the impact that Hereford has had on the country's music.
"The new pictures include some of the 20th century's greatest British composers, including Sir Edward Elgar, Gerald Finzi and Ralph Vaughan Williams."
Copies are available from Hereford Cathedral Shop priced £5.95.
