Syd Reeves
Although not directly involved with hand-turned organs, many in the North-West of England will have been familiar with Syd Reeves and his organ work. We have received this sad news from his daughter, Deborah Taylor.
'It is sad to report that Syd Reeves passed away on 12th September. 85 years old and nearly 70 years working in the Organ Building Industry. He never lost his interest or enthusiasm for the preservation of Organs, whether they be Church Organs, Wurlitzers or Fairground Organs….. anyone who came across him in this context will testify, for sure.
His funeral will be on 4th October, 12 noon, at Mossley Hill Parish Church (where he completely renovated the renowned Henry Willis Organ in 1981 and maintained it ‘till 2015…… so, it’s fitting that it will be played in his honour).
Anyone wanting to pay their respects, will be very welcome.
May the Heavenly hurdy-gurdy organs play with joy!!!
