A Norfolk challenge
On Friday 31 May All Saints Church at Old Buckenham had a special visitor. Ollie Welling is on a fundraising mission to play every organ in Norfolk. This challenge started about four years ago to raise money to pay for two new church bells at his local bell ringing tower in Swanton Morley. That challenge was completed but Ollie is continuing to go around the county playing on different church organs and has so far played at 176 different churches (with probably another four or five hundred to go).Ollie, a self taught pianist with a passion for Bach, tried out the Old Buckenham organ for about half an hour and enjoyed himself "pulling out all the stops" and so adding one more to his total.
