The Lewis Organ at St Andrew's Hall, Glasgow

Although the Bernard Edmonds Recent Research Conference 2008 (run by BIOS) has aleady taken place, your  web-manager having  presented his paper on the above topic to an appreciative gathering, he would be still interested in finding recordings made on the 4-manual Lewis organ at the St Andrew's Hall in Glasgow.  If they exist, these recordings might be commercial or private, on film, vinyl or shellac discs or on audio tape. Mature readers may remember that the hall, with its legendary acoustic and Lewis organ, met with  destruction in  a spectacular blaze early in the morning of Friday 26 October 1962.  Please send John an e-mail if you can provide assistance or useful leads.
