This morning I enjoyed a recital at St John’s Devizes by Francesca Massey. It was one of the Devizes Arts Festival events. We enjoy a recital each year and so far I’ve heard Daniel Moult, Tom Bell and David Goode play.
Francesca is currently Sub-Organist at Durham and in September becomes Director of Music at Rochester. Today she made our Makin organ sing, with trumpet sounds like I’ve never heard before on the organ. She played Francis Pott, Bach and Duruflé and I thoroughly enjoyed it all!
I wonder who’ll play next year?!
Thank you to Gail Foster for use of her photo.
Is she any relation to Roy Massey, former organ scholar of Hereford Cathedral?

No she isn’t…must be something in the name!
