Making money is not my primary objective. After expenses are taken into consideration, remaining revenue is invested back into BEAUTY IN SOUND. Audio and visual equipment is expensive, and I also pay a fair fee to all recitalists who appear on BIS. This is why I regularly ask YOU to help, and I’m sorry for having to do so. I hope that you can all see the tangible improvements being made to BIS along our shared journey.

Ways to help and support BEAUTY IN SOUND:

Becoming a Patron allows you access to an exclusive club with additional content and many perks! It is a very friendly and close community, currently consisting of over 330 people.

PayPal is preferred for larger donations (anything over £100) because they take a smaller cut of your contribution than YouTube do:

Sorry about the blip at the end of Praise my soul - I’ll fix this over the coming days 🤦🏻‍♂️

Wonderful organ, excellently played ! Thank you Richard !

[evansbowen]

Thank you for championing these great hymns. Nothing stirs my soul like a great classic hymn. I’ve started playing the piano at a local Methodist church so I could have an excuse to play hymns. Hyfrodol is my all time favorite. And every church should have a resident cat.

[johnmilburn]

Thank you for including Hyfrydol. This was the first hymn i ever played in a service; days before my 10th birthday in the school chapel on the music teacher's day off.
It has remained a firm favourite of mine ever since. I am now 60...

Mr. McVeigh, THANK YOU for your stunning channel of incredibly fine music and ultra superb playing, thank you again for your brilliant musicianship. As an amateur organist, I greatly appreciate what you're doing for the organ world by putting forth very magnificent videos exposing our beloved instrument to boundless many around the world. BRAVO!!

[myriadhues]

Awww church kitty. I'm of a mind every church should have a cat. He looked quite comfortable. Lovely organ playing.

[johnathanhughes]

I am only just old enough to remember when "God Save the Queen" was considered [sort of, partly] the national anthem of Australia. This brings back memories! Beautifully played.

[henrytaggart]

Goodness this is one of the absolute best things I’ve ever watched online - what a skill - brilliantly played sir 🎉

[kelvinsmallwood]

Thanks Richard for playing those beautiful hymns. To you & your family have a wonderful 2024.

[Thejoyofcats]

I enjoyed seeing the beautiful tuxedo cat!

[suzanneknowles]

I remember the first time I sung with my choir at Southwark, that it was quite a surprise that the choir organ was directly behind us! It was a lovely feeling of actually being one with the organ. I used to smile inwardly as when the noise of us and the organ made that glorious brass chandelier sway!!!

[portiablackman]

Season's greetings to Richard, Caroline, Hugo and Charlotte! May your family continue to grow in love and grace!🎉

[rosederogene]

Amazing! Listening to this song brings peace into my soul, especially during the 2024 U.S election.

[juttaagatha]

What an incredible sound played by an incredible artist on an incredible organ! ❤

[lennoxwillett]

Hello Richard. Greetings from Christchurch New Zealand. Thank you for this fine selection of traditional hymns, and the excellent registrations and demonstration of Southwark organ. It is truly a lesson in hymn playing and can imagine the impact of playing for a full Cathedral. Sadly we have not been able to use our lovely HNB organ since the 2011 earthquake which rendered our Cathedral off limits for another few years rebuilding.

[Enguerrandmusique]

Abide with me... This is definitly one of my favourite songs

[conemadam]

Pure bliss. Even as a child I wanted so badly to sing along, and now, at age 69 my voice is so horrific I still have to "lip it".

[mervwhitney]

Thanks Richard, It has been a real pleasure since I discovered you and joined BIS earlier this year. I hope 2024 is another good year for you and your family, including the cats. Merv

[martym]

Thanks for a wonderful recital. Happy New Year. Looking forward to 2024.

[gjjqmmr]

The richness is beyond wonderful. Your playing is royal!!!! Love the mellow grandness!
