  • The revolving restaurant
    Apr 5 2022

    James recently played at the Bowral Autumn Music Festival and spent a few days in Sydney visiting friends. This presented another opportunity to record an impromptu podcast with Callum over dinner. In the last episode, Callum was interested in dining at the Sydney Tower revolving restaurant so they went there. The usual organist banter continues over a buffet feast with a pretty big surprise for Callum! He was offered the main organ recital at the Bowral Autumn Music Festival due to a late withdrawal (due to sickness) and his programme was planned on the spot.
