St John’s no longer has a choir, but we are grateful to our former Director of Music, Richard Bond who most Sundays leads our sung worship on the piano. On other Sundays we welcome visiting organists.
We use a variety of congregational mass settings, including the Mass of St Thomas by David Thorne, The Addington Service by Richard Shephard and The New People's Mass by Dom Gregory Murray. We use the 2013 edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern, allowing us to sing a mix of different hymns and songs.
The pipe organ was built in 1911 by the renowned firm of J.W. Walker and Sons, Ltd, and essentially unchanged since then. It has a special status, having received a Historic Organ Certificate (Grade II*) from the British Institute of Organ Studies.
