Rebuilding the George Street Chapel Pipe Organ

In January we recorded the rebuilding of the George Street Chapel pipe organ for Age UK Oldham.
It was returned to the chapel by organ builders David Wood of Huddersfield.
In August the Age UK Choir were recorded singing All Things Bright and Beautiful and Breath on Me Breath of God.
This version of Breath on Me Breath of God, 'Trentham', was composed by Robert Jackson (1842-1914) who succeeded his father as organist at St Peters Church, Oldham.
