TECHNOLOGY AND THE WONDEROUS SOUND OF MUSIC
Musician Brian Howe aged 80 retired from playing the church organ recently after 30 years service to the Trinity Methodist Church in Castleford. It seems that organists are few and far between now that working mens clubs no longer employ them, as singers and artistes have their own digitised backing tracks. Will the church have to play hymns cds through a stereo system? No! Local Social Enterprise Airdale Computer Recycling came to the rescue and donated a refurbished laptop and with the help of a special music program, the church organ now plays itself and the church is again filled with that rich wonderous sound that only a church organ can make.

Kathryn Stainburn, church warden said "On Saturday, several people came in through the side door of the church when they heard the music, to congratulate the organist on beautiful playing and were stunned to find that the church organ was being controlled by a computer!"

AIREDALE COMPUTERS DONATES A LAPTOP TO PLAY THE CHURCH ORGAN

Airedale Computer Recycling often make donations of computer equipment to local good causes and their Development Manager Keith Sorrell said "It's great to be able to help in such a way and now the fabulous music can continue".
