Paul Goodman has been fascinated by the pipe organ from an early age. He first studied the organ with Paul Joslin and later with Thomas Trotter (Birmingham City Organist).
A strong interest in how the pipe organ works encouraged him in 1983 to help restore the 1906 Bevington organ in his church: Trinity Road Chapel, Tooting, London. He has travelled
widely, visiting and playing many famous instruments in the UK and further afield, including The Royal Albert Hall, The Royal Festival Hall, Cathedrals of St Paul’s, Westminster,
Liverpool, York Minster and many others. In the USA he has played some of the finest instruments including The Cathedral of St John The Divine New York, and even a few notes
on the largest working organ in the world, with it’s six manuals and 30,000 pipes situated in Macy’s department store Philadelphia, known as the Wanamaker Organ.
On moving to Devon in 1997 Paul became Organist of North Street Chapel, North Tawton and later at the local Parish Church of Bow.
Paul has a large Digital/Pipe organ in his home near North Tawton, where he has organ concerts twice a year. Recitalists to date have included: Carlo Curley, David Briggs,
Geoffrey Morgan and Nathan Laube, to name but a few!
Paul last played for us in 2010 and we are delighted to welcome him back for our 15th season.
