Organ Music (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781716543388)

Organ Music is an extended riff on the previous decade of Tory rule by way some of its more horribly memorable national occasions - the 2011 London riots, the Thatcher funeral, Brexit, and the beginning of the end of Jeremy Corbyn. It also improvises other historically resonant events like Agincourt, the Falklands War, and the death of David Bowie. Witness (keyboard) history as you've never before encountered it (forget Keith Emerson) and discover some of the key figures of the early English organ repertoire like Orlando Gibbons, Christopher Tye and Klaus Wunderlich. Formally rich (it moves between free verse, poets theatre, prose and visual poetry), this is ultimately a book of melancholic exuberance. Fuck you Tory Britain, the organist will see you now
