Byron Jones is one of the UK's busiest organists. As well as travelling the length and breadth of Great Britain, performing concerts on his magnificent Wersi Scala electronic organ or on some of the finest pipe organs in the land, Byron is hard at work organizing musical holidays that delight and enchant his grateful followers.
Despite the serious involvement of recording albums - planning, practicing, and all the technicalities - Byron still manages to find time to produce at least one new album almost every year.
Here are details of two of his latest recordings, which we are sure you are going to enjoy.

The little Wurlitzer in Byron's own home does have a big sound. Byron's friend Harry Marciniak made a good job of restoring the organ and Byron's own expertise at organ installation made the journey from New York State well worthwhile. |
