About Michael

Hello and welcome to my page on OrganFax. Here you can find out about how my interest in music developed, the things apart from music that I'm interested in and any latest news that I think you might want to hear.

I was born in Bedford on the 10th August 1979 and I started organ lessons at the age of five. This came about because my parents took my grandparents for a day out at Turners Musical Merry-GO-Round in Northampton. This then became a monthly visit for our family and it didn't take long for me to start pestering my mum for organ lessons. From this the family became friends with Nicholas Martin and John Walker (the star artists) and 10 years later Nicholas Martin became my organ teacher. During my school years I took piano lessons and this enhance my left hand and I also gained some knowledge of classical music.

I now play for Organ and Keyboard Clubs around the country using a well travelled Yamaha EL90, Yamaha Amplification and some very old but nice sounding Torque speakers. The last year has been a very busy year, mainly concert work but I am now fortunate enough to start attending festivals which allows me to get to know the people that follow the organ world a little closer. Forthcoming festivals that I'm very much looking forward to and I've been asked to appear at are Tony Stace and Andrew Nix festival in York and Byron Jones festive at Sand Bay.

As for my personal life I live in a small town to the east of Northampton called Irthlingborough. I've live there since moving from Bedford in 2003. Apart from music my other interest is motorsport where I enjoy both watching and taking part. 

If your club is ever let down and you need somebody with only hours to go before a concert is due to start then I will do my best to help out.

Thankyou for visiting my OrganFax page and I look forward to meeting you at a concert soon.

Michael
