Servant of all, to toil for man - Chris Lawton at St Leonard's Church, Marston Green, Solihull

Another of me playing the Compton 'Miniatura' organ at St Leonard'sChurch in Marston Green, Solihull.

Whenever I visit somewhere to play the organ, I always try and play something associated with the place so as we were in St Leonard's Church, I am playing the hymn 'Servant of all, to toil for man' to the tune 'St Leonard's' with the words by Charles Wesley and tune by Henry Smart.

Many thanks to the church officials for allowing me access to this little gem of a Compton organ.

REQUEST: I am always on the lookout for Compton organs to play - particularly electrones - so if you know of any churches which still have these then please do let me know. I will happily give a donation or pay any applicable room hire charge.
