There have been four organs since the church was built. The first lasted 55 years and was in the original chancel (now the house next door). The second was also in the chancel and, although it was much damaged by a shell which blew in the east window in 1940 it was used until 1964. The third organ was reinstated in the specially enlarged West Gallery. It was too big when the church was reordered in 2001-2003, so it was replaced with the current organ, a fine historic one from St Paul, Dock Street, in the old East End, that closed in 1990. This organ was installed in our north aisle in 2003, and looks as though it has always been there. https://www.specr.org/giving/pulling-out-all-the-stops
Our Sunday 10.30am services are accompanied by the St Philip’s choir. Made up of between 8 and 10 enthusiastic and hard-working church members. The choir practices before the service each week and ventures beyond the church for annual carol singing. Monthly all-age services see the involvement of our new Children’s Choir, with more modern music. On Festivals, we are joined by professional singers to perform larger sung mass settings and anthems.
