Junior members of the Bradford Organists' Assoc-iation have won prestigious places in higher education.

Peter Stobart, of Haworth Road, Heaton, currently organist at Bingley Parish Church, has been awarded an organ scholarship to Oriel College, Oxford, starting next month.

His place at Bingley has been taken by Bradford Grammar School pupil Christopher Bentley, of Restmore Avenue, Guiseley, who takes on his new role this week.

Also moving on is Eldwick teenager Robert Sudall, who has been offered an unconditional place at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, starting this month.

Robert is currently organist at St Wilfrid's Church in Gilstead.

The Bradford Organists' Association is also proud of another junior member Jamie Hudson, of Burras Lane, Otley, who was appointed to the position of organist at Pool Parish Church last October when he was only 13.

An Organ Concert featuring Julie Tanner, organist at Leeds Roman Catholic Cathedral, takes place at St Margaret's, Ilkley, on Saturday September 28 starting at 7.30pm.
