The summer holidays are coming and I have a few spare Sundays; I also need a holiday away from home. I would be more than willing to deputise for an organist who needs to get away (especially if there was a fee!). I am happy to travel about 80 miles from home.
I have looked on the Church Times website and found 1 engagement. I assumed, as they were advertising for an organist, that they did not have one; I was right.
But there are not many adverts in the Church Times. There are also not many on the RSCM website. I suppose there could be more in the print editions of these publications, but why?
The Church of England cannot be that blessed with deputy organists, so why can I not find anywhere that might use my services? The site Organists Online is useful and ought to be more widely known.
The hunt continues.
