As an American it’s very hard to wrap my head around the fact that attending services at a church that was built in the 1200’s would even be possible. Just incredible. You do a wonderful job showing these beautiful churches and their organs. Glad to have discovered your work kind man.

I so love that you show the roads leading to these churches, surroundings and INSIDE all of these churches. your videos are such a treat!

And with our thanks to the ladies of the parish for the lovely floral arrangements.

One of the many things that I especially love about your videos is that in addition to being a highly proficient musician, you are as well a poet and inspiring historian. I am so thankful to have discovered your wonderful channel !!

Hi Ben, I watch one of your beautiful videos every Sunday morning while I drink my coffee before heading off to my Catholic Sunday Mass. They soothe my soul. We have a beautiful old pipe organ at my church and I am going to ask my pastor for its history. You have inspired me! And don't worry about looking too serious, it shows that you take your profession seriously!

Gorgeous little organ and even Widor’s toccata was nice. Your touch is what makes some of these old girls sing so beautifully. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. ❤

You are a true artist in every sense. Thank you.

[alankovacs]

Thanks! You are so talented beyond your mastery of music! Your videos are such rich compositions.

[robertmdaniels]

Thoroughly delightful how you present the background and history of these churches and organs. You might smile once in a while and not be so deadpan.

I am into mechanical music so of course that tremulant stop is a great sound to my ears! What a wonderful organ this is. A hidden gem in a small village church!

[uwemommens]

"It can" (Widor). True, but the organist can also.
"As beautiful as the hills and valleys of England", so true, indeed.

[mattleach]

Thank you again Ben for another excellent village church and organ tour.
Your personable, calm, intelligent and insightful video narration and style
makes us feel like we are right there with you. Very refreshing.

I loved the Tremulant and the ‘fairground’ improv 🤭

[stephenhunt]

You are so serious in this video and without any smiles. Ben, I cannot express how much pleasure your fantastic, sensitively beautiful playing brings to me and many others! Thank you for sharing your exquisite talent along with your sharp attention to enthralling historic details of chuches in England.

On England's green and pleasant land seeing the visionary landscape and believing the church music a wonder to all.

I’m on a little journey watching your older videos. This is so wonderful. I miss those English hills so much. I could’ve listened to the whole piece you played at the end. I can’t remember the name of it right now. The internet is such a weird place because your videos make me feel like we’re friends. Thanks Ben 🫶🏼

When you played with the tremulant 'on', I couldn't tell if it was on or not. I guess I'm used to playing theater(cinema) pipe organ where the tremulant is very heavy. The 'vibrato' really stands out in a theater organ 🙂 BTW - I've played silent film accompaniment where all the different sounds to the film are performed by the organist. From sobbing tibias to an auto horn, the range of sounds, and fun, is wonderful 🙂

I love an old ham and a drama queen 😃 Your use of the Purcell Queen Mary funeral music to vamp up the pathos while reading the inscription on the woman's grave was masterful! I have subscribed!👍
