Goodbye to Organ Scholar
On Sunday 7th September, 2008, we said goodbye to Kirsty Traynor, our organ scholar 2007-8 as she leaves to read music at Edinburgh University. Thank you and Good Luck! This leaves a vacancy for the position of Organ Scholar at S Mary’s. Enquiries to the Director of Music, Frikki Walker.
