Only in Armidale - a church organ crawl

We have all heard of pub crawls. But this variant could, I think, only happen in Armidale.

On Facebook, ABC Radio New England North West advises that there will be a church organ crawl in Armidale tomorrow.

Starting at 2pm, there will be a mobile concert like a pub crawl, but instead of a beer you get a 20 minute recital in each church before walking to the next one. Warwick Dunham, Jan-Piet Knijff and Lena Schmalz will play progressively in the Catholic Cathedral, Ursuline Chapel, Anglican Cathedral and Presbyterian and Uniting Churches.

I would love to go!

At the eisteddfod this afternoon I overheard someone saying that a staggering 200 people turned up for the organ crawl!

Wow!
