Its always good to get your reactions to the little snippets  that I place on the site. Its wonderful when a memory gets stirred such as the one in  this   e-mail I received from our Member  JACK EDMONDSON

 John:

 I listened to the organ music from St James church in Barrow with very great pleasure: a nice rich tone and skilfully played. My granparents, Arthur James Hammond and Lydia Elizabeth Smith, were married there on 31 July 1886.  Oddly, perhaps, although I grew up in Barrow I have never been in the church and, on my very infrequent and fleeting visits to the town, I have never somehow found the time.  I must really put this at the top of my 'to do'list.  Thanks once again for this opportunity to hear the organ which may have played at my grandparents' wedding all those many years ago.

Regards
Jack Edmondson

 Wonderful Jack . I was a chior boy at the church and also turned the music pages for the Organist and I  also rang the church bells  which is quite difficult as I remember you must keep you head straight and not look up or the rope lifts you in to the air ----See what happens when you stir a memory.
