But I can just imagine Bianca, who very probably would have heard the Hallelujah Chorus, telling the vicar she doesn't want a load of boring organ stuff, she wants singers yelling their heads off to celebrate her finally getting her man.

Should that not be the 'allaayluya corus?

Still, it's all making a joyful noise unto the Lord isn't it?

You find B'yankaa's voice joyful? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

..as joyful as a badly tuned Krummhorn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I presume the equivalent of the hefty fee required by the cathedral chap would not be forwarded to poor Velda.

Crisis in Ambridge over non-payal of a stand-down fee to Velda? Ooh, I can't wait. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Going back to The Archers, my view is that they wanted Velda out of the way so they can play some ostentatious piece of organ phantasmagoria that the Veldas of this world are unlikely to have at their fingertips at short notice.

A good send-off with Lefébure-Wély's Sortie in E flat perhaps? Or an improvised toccata on Barwick Green?

Not that I know anything about this series, you understand, but with the wife being a fan one it's difficult to avoid picking up the odd snippet.

If you think that Ricky and Bianca are going to be a happy couple for long, then I think you're underestimating the writers of Eastenders! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Or as said wife informs me, "Eastenders is just a lot of unpleasant people being thoroughly nasty to each other."

Perhaps I should audition...

Or .......

Crisis in Ambridge ...... Cathedral Organist walks out after being asked to play from Songs of Fellowship. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

haha.

VH - my OH says something virtually identical.

I played something along those lines during the communion at my grand-mother's requiem - not that anyone noticed!

I believe you, Vox; thousands wouldn't. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

As for crisis, that WOULD be a crisis by Ambridge standards - we must take our thrills when we can. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I don't know why I expected anything other than a damp squib, but that's what we got.

Something to do with respect for the actor's family, I gather. The only characters who get an exciting death are those whose actor is alive, kicking and ready to tick the next part on their cv.

I'm sure Velda could have easily managed anything that we heard in this funeral, probably with one hand behind her back pulling pints in The Bull.
Now she will forever be a byword for uselessness - a sort of organ playing Eddie the Eagle. (I know-he can ski and I can't.)
