Given what's happened to London's performers these last five years, it's credible. You need a heart to sing, and hope. Those have been destroyed, systematically.
@rickbullock4331.... I’d be worried that you would make more asinine comments....Just take your meds and stop being worried for no reason...and besides...What makes you think that anyone would care about anything that you may be worried about...don't answer...I don't care!
Probably, you have law and order, as well as better parenting there, and if you did something so stupid, first, your dad would wail on your ass, and then the cops would deal with you later. Here, we have been giving people a mic and camera if they destroy things, and that's why it happens here, and not there.
As a death metal lover for most of my 56 female years, I see no confusion in watching and loving this man’s videos for years. I can’t see how the could not be mutually beneficial. Just because you love one genre doesn’t necessarily imply you don’t respect/like/understand others. Music is universal and genius is something everyone can see.
I love that song, my Bonnie lies over the Ocean! I had a cousin Bonnie and we would sing that song to her! Such wonderful memories! She’s been gone so many years. She was just a year older than me. 😢
I have been following your piano videos for a few years. However I really am a classical Pipe Organ fan. I'm delighted to see you playing a pipe organ today. For a piano player, you did quite well.
Brendan Brethren you’re the SOULMAN Your followers share a spiritual adoration for how you carry a devotion for fairness, justice, freedom & liberty! Praise Be to God in journey Brother!
It’s also a pleasure for me to follow the amazing graphic works of the guy next to Brendan. That's Tristan Nuit. He’s good at what he does too! Love it!
boogie is better! :-)))) Who knows why Brendan actually prefers Boogie to playing classical music, which as we have seen several times he is very good at as well.
My mom bought some organ back in the `70s with all sorts of knobs and switches. I got it to do things where it was playing itself almost. A time before a syntheizer or digital anything except a clock.
It is a single manual and pedal (one keyboard plus pedalboard) pipe organ, I think from the late 19th or early 20th century. I think it's British but not positive. Since it is a bit smaller than often seen (probably less than 10 ranks of pipes), I think it was chosen to place in this public location not only due to less maintenance (fewer ranks of pipes / no more manuals) and also to maybe be a bit less intimidating for the average keyboardist or pianist who is not used to playing something with multiple manuals, and is still getting used to the idea of pedals, stops, etc. A nice organ for beginners in other words.
I thought any moment now, she is going to launch into a Type O Negative song and do her best Peter Steele vocal impression... any moment now.. it's coming.. then.. Dr K throws in the towel and concedes it's never going to happen.
You're real musician Brendan, I'd love to know the history of how you got to this stage, so fluent in different styles. Yes I know you can just listen and memorise but there is much more to it in your case. I love listening to you, there are always surprises.
This was awesome, an old pipe organ for the public to use, just awesome. The guy with the girl was like WOW, this guy is the better than my girl playing, you could see it on his facial expression.
Слухаєш і виникає бажання сказати - Люди, ви чудові, ваша музика красива. Слушаешь и хочется сказать - Люди, вы прекрасны, ваша музыка прекрасна. You listen and want to say - People, you are wonderful, your music is wonderful.
Dude, you're awesome and with a good attitude to boot - nice job as always! Too bad the babe didn't have more confidence to play - I'll bet she would've done well.
A family cousin was a bonafide renowned (in the US Whose Who) pipe organist back in the 1940's and 1950's. I can't play a lick myself but I can appreciate it.
Down by the station early in the morning, see the little puffer-bellies all in a row. See the station master pull the little handle, chug chug toot toot! Off they go!
Heavy, black and death metal aren't the same thing. Just play an harmonic minor scale when you see these kind of metalheads... Hall Of The Mountain Kings works as well...
Guys. I am ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN I know that chic. She was a good friend when I lived in UK. She was no metalhead at all although she did kinda like that type of music. She is an excellent bodybuilder this. She is in prep for competition.
Heavy metal tends to be a very heavy guitar and drums version of Rock. Death metal, growling vocals and even heavier and darker Guitar and synth with a female operatic style , see Cradle of filth, Black metal has always been to me a mixture of those two but for me, Bach is pure Metal in his organ pieces. There is am elegant purity in metal that is very much based on really heavy classical music structure. If you want to really know metal then there is a whole range of styles, from light metal right the way through to very dark metal. Most is just strong distorted guitars, or really clever synthetic sounds. Vocals from deep bass, like Lemmy through to clear tones like Marilyn manson. Most but not all have a female singer, and those that do use her voice to really great effect. It can be operatic soprano through to fairly gutteral bass. Metal is the king of music, much like Bach. Listen the 2 cellos do thunderstruck and you will soon see what io mean. Light metal, simples

What organ is that? It looks like an old pedal organ popular in many old Anglican churches without electricity, but by all appearances as to how it's being played, and size, it must have an electric blower and high pressure small air chest hidden inside? Was it converted from an older pedal unit, and removed from a church that modernized to expand octave ranges, or reduce maintenance costs for a traditional instrument? Age, builder, spec's, other history?
That's a good question. Hopefully the folks who put it there and maintain it (no doubt some kind of British organ foundation) can chime in here with a good reply. But although almost all 19th century (and earlier) pipe organs were either foot pumped (usually by separate people in another room with the bellows) or hand pumped (by another person often in the same room as the organist, pumping a handle), a large number of them have been modernized with a modern electric blower fitted for ease of use without requiring a second (or more) person/people to pump. In many cases this is fitted in a reversible way so that the blower could be removed and the instrument reverted to its original state in the future if desired. In those cases, the original feeder bellows are frequently retained, though rarely used. Some organs have a duplex setup so they can be blown either by the manual bellows or the electric blower, at a moment's notice (which is handy for power outages). Most pipe organs built since about 1930 are built with an electric blower as standard, and have no manual bellows. (The bellows you see in these are regulators/reservoirs, winkers, tremulants, or have other functions). Exceptions are some (usually smaller) organs that are made as one-offs by organbuilders or hobbyists, which are trying to be in the style of, or the spirit of, an earlier era of organbuilding, and have newer manual bellows. But they are the exception to the rule, due to electric power being available most places, and the sheer convenience of a blower. Automated pumping of organ bellows was experimented with quite early on, and there are some smaller automatic (barrel) pipe organs, dating from the 1700s onward, which have weight-driven clockwork motors (with usually a fan-fly governor) to very slowly pump multiple bellows. These are mainly found on flute clocks (flotenuhren), small chamber barrel organs (especially Viennese and German ones) and organ-type barrel orchestrions. Also some of the earliest paper roll orchestrions as well. Some French, British (and Czech?) chamber barrel organs featured spring-driven clockwork mechanisms, as an alternative. Naturally these are usually quite small organs with few pipes. Of course there were also hand-turned barrel organs built both for indoor use (chamber and salon organs) and for outdoor use (street and fairground organs). While the weight-driven clockwork-motor setup was all right for an orchestrion (most of which were smaller than the average large hand played pipe organ), it often did not produce high enough wind pressure, or especially enough volume of wind, to play a large hand played organ (like most non-automatic church and concert hall organs) for any length of time, so manual pumping for these was the norm for most until electrically-pumped bellows, and then electric fan blowers, came into being. There are some outstanding and very rare exceptions mostly from the late 19th century, where some organs were powered by water motors (either via a waterwheel or mains water pressure turning a small turbine to create rotary power), or even steam engines directly turning a flywheel (this is quite a rare situation), or, in many British-owned fairground organs, the steam tractor which towed fairground rides and equipment, could also generate lots of electricity, and so the fairground organ's electric motor was plugged into it for power, hence the (quite inaccurate) slang term 'steam organ' for these. But anyway, once electrification was widespread in Europe and the USA, manual pumping of pipe organs got rarer and rarer until it nearly disappeared altogether. However, to contrast with my above remarks which are about pipe organs, manual (well, foot) pumping is considered integral towards the proper expressive performance of the reed organ, whether it is of the pressure variety (aka the harmonium, or most European-made instruments), or of the suction variety (the melodeon, parlor organ, etc basically most American-made instruments). This is because the characteristics of their free reeds (cousins of those found in an accordion, melodica, harmonica etc) are much different than those of organ flue pipes and beating reed pipes, and allow for a much wider range of dynamics with a wider range of air/suction pressures, making it possible to play expressively on one or two ranks without needing many more ranks (and an elaborate swell box) as mandatory for getting any real expression. (However most reed organs do have at least a simple swell shutter, and larger ones certainly have many more ranks of reeds, and sometimes even more extensive swell shades). Much of the expression (dynamics) in reed organs is done through sensitive foot-pumping (on a well-restored, not leaky/wheezy instrument) and you can see and hear examples of that in Rodney Jantzi's "Reeding 101" tutorial video series on his TH-cam channel. This is why while it is more a matter of historical accuracy / preservation, than musical aesthetics, for a larger church pipe organ to be hand/foot blown vs electrically powered, it is considered nearly mandatory for proper performance, for most reed organs to be foot pumped or similar, as it is integral towards the music. The exceptions would be late electrostatic / electronically amplified reed organs (which are built to be electrically played), and certain large multiple-manual and pedal reed organs which are built to substitute for pipe organs and be played more normally by a pipe organist (these are hand pumped by someone else and/or blown by a small external blower).
I did a church tour a few years ago. The organist was warming up for a wedding. I went over and asked if she could play 'In-a-gadda-de vida". It didn't meet with any approval and maybe missed the point.
The range of your musical knowledge is exceptional. Always enjoy your videos!

I did a church tour a few years ago. The organist was warming up for a wedding. I went over and asked if she could play 'In-a-gadda-de vida". It didn't meet with any approval and maybe missed the point.
Love live metal, rock and roll and boogie !!!
I thought she was going to do something good. But she didnt do anything.
Este piano tem um som muito grudento.
