  • view from my pew 3

    Hello again to my growing internet fanbase. It’s Mr Grenville-Stubbs here again with another of my views from my pew. Some of you will have heard of my highly successful late night radio show on our local radio station: Hymns On My Organ. I have had  my Hammond organ for 35 years and people write in…

  • mix tape

    To celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary Sally made me a mix tape. Do you remember doing that? If so, you are a lot older than you are admitting! Well because she is a 21st Century woman Sally’s mix tape was not on one of these old fashioned cassette tapes that used to get mangled by…

  • go to

    When I was in my late teens I was part of a youth choir at my church. We were called ‘The Light Company’ and had lovely bright yellow* sweatshirts with our logo on it. We were led by the wonderful David Peacock and as well as singing in our church we also visited other churches to…

  • co incidental music

    Twice this week I have had unusual experiences with music. On Sunday I was asked to speak at a church up the road in Ipswich. I was not leading the service and didn’t know what songs would be selected. I was listening to (and singing along to) a CD of worship songs and was struck…

  • Arapaho Warrior

    We had a wonderful concert at our church on Saturday. Lots of very talented people used their musical talents to bless others. It was inspiring, enjoyable, funny on occasions (when it was meant to be) and moving on others. At the interval, as I queued for coffee, for some reason my mind went back briefly…

  • All the Bells

    Colchester Baptist Church took part in a little (tuneful) way in the nationwide ‘All The Bells’ initiative this morning. Here’s a quick clip of our most melodious moment, you can find it on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj1eZqy7Fao

  • standing up

    Tonight the lovely Mrs Lear and I are going to a gig. (see picture) It’s a blend of comedy and rock music to support Crisis, but the main reason we are going is the headline act. Sally has been obsessed by Mr Weller since she first heard The Jam in the late 1970s. The first…

  • under the influence

    As I sit in my study at home I can hear my son practicing on his keyboard in his bedroom (immediately above my study). I can also hear my daughter playing on a computer game in the dining room (immediately next to my study). And I am listening to some of my favourite rock music…

  • Cultured?

    A while ago I was travelling in a car with a colleague, following another car with two other colleagues in it. We received a text message from the passenger in the other car, remarking on the classical music playing: “It’s very cultured in here.” We had a chuckle at that and sent the reply, “So…
