In the crazy world of the organist, from the most humble church musician to the international concert performers, the strangest - and often funniest - things happen. This is where you can read about them...

Jenny Setchell peeks behind the facades of some of the most famous concert venues and churches around the world to reveal what the life of an organist is really like. Over 120 men and women - from concert artists to Sunday church organists - relate the trials and triumphs of playing what can be the most difficult instrument in the world. Their amazing tales prove that there is nothing "organized" or standard about the lives they have to lead. Whimsical, often poignant and frequently funny, these tales will change your view of the king of instruments, and those who play it, forever.

The book about organists, by organists, for everyone, and has a foreword by the Queen of the organ, Dame Gillian Weir
