Description:
I often play at Glasgow's Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Scotland's top free tourist venue on the wonderful and all original TC Lewis organ there. The organ is played every day, making it one of the most listened to instruments in the world, with well over a million visitors each year. The museum is a vast Victorian building set in the beautiful Kelvingrove park on the banks of the river Kelvin.

The youtube video is of a live performance at the gallery.

Each program must begin with a version of the tune "Kelvingrove" - a traditional Scottish melody which became associated with the lyrics of Thomas Lyle in 1811. Every time is a little different as the mood and time of year dictate. Here is the version I recorded to publicise a recent concert. Played on Hereford, the nearest sounding instrument in my virtual collection. And YES, we have tried - the council lawyers stand in the way of sampling, for now. Perhaps one day!

Let us haste to Kelvin Grove, bonnie lassie, O
Thro' its mazes let us rove, bonnie lassie, O
Where the roses in their pride
Deck the bonnie dingle side
Where the midnight fairies glide, bonnie lassie, O.

Oh, Kelvin banks are fair, bonnie lassie, O
When the summer we are there, bonnie lassie, O
There the Maypink's crimson plume
Throws a soft but sweet perfume
Round the yellow banks o' broom, bonnie lassie, O.
