This was followed by an inspiring talk by Tom Hurst, MCTOS President, about the saving of the organ and the Redford Theatre itself. Following a question period, members took their turn at eliciting lovely sounds from the Golden Voiced Barton and exploring the stage left organ chamber. With a hearty round of applause, the group expressed its gratitude to Messrs, Hurst and Martin for their hospitality in arranging our morning at the Redford Theatre.
