'I played the organ for The King's Coronation'
Bewdley musician Peter Holder says it has been an honour to play at state occasions, including the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, as the sub-organist at Westminster Abbey.
Speaking at a visit to Worcester Cathedral, where he first picked up a passion for one of the grandest instruments out there, the former chorister and King's School pupil said he didn't feel nerves, but did notice the pressure of the big occasion and a hunger to do the job to the best of his ability.
Peter has also held organist positions at St Paul's Cathedral in London. At time of recording, he holds the post of organist at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford.
