Kevin Bowyer - Alan Gibbs: Organ Works (2017)

Alan Gibbs was born in 1932 and went on to study in Durham with organ lessons from Conrad Eden. After National Service he held posts in London and has written articles about Holst and related subjects. Kevin Bowyer recorded a CD of his music at Tonbridge School in 1999 and now the same performer, his skills undiminished directs ‘his formidable prowess as an interpreter of contemporary music’ to his fine Willis III organ in Glasgow to present the major output of Gibbs organ music.
