Here's your chance to hear Abba’s Eurovision winner Waterloo as you’ve never heard it before – played on the organ at Chichester Cathedral.
The performance by organ scholar Tim Stewart to mark Eurovision night was part of a special open evening at the cathedral, as spokesman Oliver Tubb explains – Cathedrals at Night, (Saturday, May 13, 7-9pm). Visitors were invited to explore the cathedral at twilight and also explore a variety of spaces usually closed to the public. It’s a nationwide project with Church of England cathedrals opening at the same time/date, inspired by the European Les Nuits des Cathedrales.
The organ dates back to the seventeenth century and narrowly avoided destruction when the Spire collapsed in 1861.
