A bit of culture

St.Vincents church in Bagnère has a series of free concerts throughout the summer. Most of them involve the organ. We went to the first on on Sunday.
It was a good selection of pieces and a good length (more than an hour of organ music is too much...)
The blurb about the organ in the program made it obvious that maintaining it in working order was not too easy. It seems to have spent most of its life being restored, replaced or out of order. It was obviously quite frisky to play with some uncooperative notes. Made me think of 'this one go plunk' in Molesworth - but 'this one go PAAAAAARP'. Overall very enjoyable though.
