Today I am talking to John Eden who is the Chief Executive of the Herefordshire Association for the Blind as well as being the Director of Music at St Martins, Hereford.  As well as being a deeply Christian man John also runs the Hereford Church Singers about which we talk today; and also about music more generally in the community and how things have changed in schools around music and how the digital era does not help musical appreciation.

Today Bench talk comes from the seat at the organ at St Martins Church high above the beautiful nave.
