About this product
The organist and harpsichordist John Worgan (1724-90) was one of the most highly respected musicians in the London of his day Handel admired his playing, and Burney described him as 'very masterly and learned'. Worgan was the organist of Vauxhall Gardens and of a number of London churches and naturally composed for his own instruments. Most of his music is lost, but his fifth son, James Worgan, also a musician, had fifteen of his father's organ pieces published after his death. Here they are performed on the organ of St Botolph's without Aldgate (perhaps England's oldest surviving church organ), where Worgan himself was organist from 1753 until his demise - the perfect vehicle for this quirky but proud music.

2018 . 'This is one boy/girl duo who aren't dealing in cute and cuddly lo-fi. Fast, furious, and possessing more attitude in their smudged eyeliner than should be legal.' The moment the duo steps on the podium they become Blackboxred. A heavily crushing grunge steamroller. A hounded human machine. Eva stares. An atom-splitting gaze. She tortures her guitar and menaces vocally. Meanwhile Stefan becomes a hammering octopus hitting his drums mercilessly. A stroboscope - the devil's light - dazzles the spectators. No escape route. Inspired by the likes of The Dead Weather, Crystal Castles and The Joy Formidable you get the idea of what these two are getting at. After releasing their debut album The Gunner and the Ghost (2013), several singles and the EP Beak to Beak (2015), the band has currently finished recording their second full-length which is set to in Autumn 2018.
