Lockdown_Listen_Nigel Ogden_1982

Today's Lockdown Listen features arguably the man who did more to raise the profile of the organ than anyone, largely thanks to his almost four-decade tenure as host of the national BBC radio programme until its demise in 2018.  Over the years I've chatted several times with Nigel Ogden and, on these three occasions recorded in 1982 at Oldham Bluecoat School, 2003 at a Methodist Church in Oldham and 2018 at Stockport Town Hall just as the news broke that "The Organist Entertains" was coming off-air, if nothing else, it demonstrates how our voices have changed!
