RUTH Jones organist at St Stephen's church, Old Radnor said she was" thrilled to have the opportunity to do a sponsored organ recital on August 6, for four hours" (1am till 5pm). Ruth added "In the church on the afternoon there was lovely atmosphere with locals wondering in and out mingling with the passing visitors who came as far away as Cirencester and Brighton and tea and cakes were served by members of the church council". The recital raised over £1,300 and will go towards the cost of updating the church's heating system and lighting before next winter. The Vicar the Rev Ben Griffiths thanked Ruth for the recital and for raising so much money. During the afternoon Ruth played a varied selection of music including the theme from All Creatures Great and Small, Rawsthorne Londonderry Air, Bach's Toccata Fugue in D Minor and finished with Calon Lan.
