A CELEBRITY organist will be performing at Wellington’s St John the Baptist Parish Church at the end of the month.

The concert will be part of a £4,000 fundraising effort to restore part of the church organ.

For many years the concert organist David Price has given an annual recital tour of English church and cathedral organs.

Mr Price has agreed to come to St John’s as part of this year’s tour and provide a recital on Saturday, July 26, at 7pm.

Admission to the recital will be by donation, with Mr Price giving fifty per cent of the takings to the church to support the installation of a new working processor for the organ.

Refreshments will be available before the recital from 6.30pm.
