Nigel Ogden

We’re so very sorry to pass on the news that Nigel Ogden passed away on 27th January.

Nigel was, for 39 years, host of the Organist Entertains on BBC radio and when that was axed he spent another 5 years delving into his archive for this podcast.

He was always so very supportive to Damon and the team and we will remember his friendship, humour and first class musicianship.
