Mark Mynett is right – there is a risk that, as churches close and are repurposed, we lose their pipe organs along with them (UK churches need open-mindedness to preserve heritage says heavy metal musician, 23 February).
It’s not surprising that a metal musician is calling this out: until the invention of electronic amplification, previous generations who loved loud music would have needed to head to their local church (or town hall, masonic lodge, or any of the other venues housing these marvellous instruments) to get their fix of chest-thumping volume.
