Organist Nigel Ogden entertains at Padiham Unitarian Church

ORGANIST Nigel Ogden certainly entertained at the latest fund-raising concert at Padiham Unitarian Church.

The presenter of BBC Radio 2’s long running programme “The Organist Entertains”, was accompanied for several pieces by local young soprano Grace O’Malley. Mr Ogden displayed his immense talents not only as the soloist, but also in accompanying Grace, who sang a variety of music.

The enjoyable programme culminated in Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance”, with the capacity audience delighted to engage in waving Union flags!
