ARTISTES' COMMENTS
 
 
Nicholas Martin - 19 August 2010
 
My sixth concert for the Society ... the 100th Birthday concert.  What can be said about the Club that has not already been said?  It is the finest 'organ/music' group going!  Every 'i' is dotted and every 't' is crossed in making sure everything works perfectly on the night.  Immense congratulations to all concerned in 'flying the musical flag' so superbly in Weyhill.  See you in 2018 for the 200th !!!
 
 
Phil Brown - 15 July 2010 
 
Thank you for such a wonderful night on my second visit - you are probably the best organ society in England.  Your warm welcome was much appreciated and I am very pleased that everyone enjoyed themselves.

My first time at Weyhill (you took your time - ha ha!).  I don't think I've ever been so 'excited' about an organ society.  You are so wonderfully receptive, which makes performing so much easier.  Congratulations on your professional presentation.  Are you 'excited' as well?

Penny Weedon - 19 April 2007
 
Thank you for another lovely warm welcome.  When you 'challenged' me to play an entire programme of 60s music I wondered if I'd find enough good tunes - but you have introduced me to a super decade of music.  And yes - I was there at the time :-))  Lovely to see your hall full to bursting as usual.  Have a great year.  All the best.

Daniel Watt - 19 January 2006
 
Many, many thanks for one of the best evenings I have ever had.  Your society now has to be counted as one of the best in the country.  The whole organisation is just superb and the volunteers  that help you prepare everything are so very helpful.  With such a warm audience I feel certain that you will always get the best out of your visiting organists. Thanks once more and I hope to see you all again soon. Keep up the good work!
 
 
Nicholas Martin - 15 December 2005
 
Having just performed the Society's Christmas concert, I have to say the evening was sensational.  The atmosphere was top-rate with the capacity audience entering splendidly into the party spirit.  The carol sing-along was amazing - it sounded like they were on the terraces of Leicester City Football Club (saluting a rare win!).  This was my fourth visit to the Society and the most enjoyable one yet!  Shame about the Mayor's 'out of tune' singing, but you can't have everything, I guess.  Ahhh!  Many thanks for a wonderful evening - one of my very memorable ones!  Great society, audience, hospitality and overall atmosphere.  My fourth visit - see you again in 2007!  
 
 
Michael Wooldridge - 17 November 2005
 
What a joy to play at Weyhill again.  What an absolute joy to play in such excellent surroundings for such a marvellous audience.  Congratulations to all the team for making every concert evening a special occasion.  Here's to the next time! 
 
 
Claudia Hirschfeld - 20 October 2005 
 
I want to thank you for your friendliness, your hospitality and the way you organise everything so professionally!  Congratulations!  It was a special pleasure for me to perform for you within my UK-Tour 2005.  I immediately felt like a part of your club family ... and I promise you I'll be coming back.  Once again, thank you for everything.
 
 
Rebecca Cole - 15 September 2005
 
Thank you for inviting me to perform for the Society once again.  As always, a superb welcome was awaiting me and the audience was most appreciative.  Keep up the good work.  I've had a super evening each time I have been with you all.  Thanks for your hospitality - and here's to the next time!

Well, here I am again ... and enjoying myself very much!  What a splendid team and what a great audience.  Unfortunately, this will be my last visit - not exactly retiring but I am having to stop transporting the Eminent organ around.  Thank you for your hospitality and I hope you have many more years of music-making.
 
 
John Walker - 21 April 2005
 
Thank you all for making me so very welcome.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this wonderful Society.  What a breath of fresh air it is to visit a club that aims to entertain members of the general public as well as hardened 'organ nuts'!!  Long may your success continue and thank you again for making me so very welcome. It was a pleasure and privilege to be part of such a professionally staged evening.  I look forward to the next time!  All the best.
 
 
David Thomas - 17 March 2005
