Absolutely beautiful, excellent rendition, well done!

Интересно, а если сильный дождь, то как из него стрелять?

Considering matchlock had a normal reload time of 30 seconds an 15 for profesional soldiers <3 seconds reload time fells really wierd

Takes 39 seconds to reload, damn

Es un verdadero antídoto para el alma inquieta por los avatares de la sociedad mal llamada moderna.

I played the last two pages for a wedding once, I have Colin Walsh on a CD and I did suggest that as far as organists go he is infinitely better than me so use the CD, awesome playing.

I bought 50 years ago a Dambuster plastic model airplane kit, strictly because of the cool forked tail, knowing nothing about the actual aircraft. The instruction booklet however contained a detailed description of the mission, the innovative spinning bomb, and the crews that fascinated me. Later I saw the movie. I had no idea though that there was also this wonderful march.

No disrespect to the organist, who is superb by the way....But the best music comes right at the end with the Lancaster flyover...the sound of the Merlin Engines is incomparable !!

"Yo ho ho and a bottle 🍾 of rum!" 🥃 🏴‍☠️ ☠️

Huge props to the guy for travelling to the future to showcase this amazing contraption.

Thought homie had two joints burning for a second.

It brings tears to my eyes remembering those sad times and the men who lost their lives doing "a job". As children when a plane flew over you could see the pilot and we would wave to him and he would wave back, they flew so close to the ground.

Old video and very epic

As an American, having just discovered this march, and just learned about the Dam Busters mission, I think this is beautifully played, and a wonderful tribute to the RAF 617 Squadron. The music is so spirited, so lovely! Bravo, Mr. Coates and Mr. Walsh!

You don't have to be patriotic to enjoy this, but it helps!

Fantastic :)

I hate jingoism but totally love this!

Super excellent with very good interesting video

As a French I discover this March and it's a great masterwork

towering performance

I'm afraid I don't like it for one reason. His registration seems designed to show off the organ rather than sound like the original orchestra. I played the same edition several times, but I always tried to make it sound like an orchestra was playing it.

And Christ saith unto the skipper: "Steady...bomb gone!" And all about him knew it was so.

Everything that makes English music what it is today.

Real music straight organ bent whatever love it Gordon Exmouth

XVI-XVII centuries high technology

Heard him play this at the RAF 100 anniversary service in Lincoln Cathedral this year. Awesome!

It's so refreshing seeing and hearing a superb organist performing a rousing march. from the pen of one of Britain' s own. The organ sounds glorious! Thanks a million!

Wonderfully played and inspiring, Colin! I hope you're thriving. Long time no see. Julian

Where did you get this arrangement for the organ. Been looking everywhere ?

How many shot can you fire Before the match burns out???how many minutes

Simon Johnson is not only a virtuoso but great interpreter! Superb technique!

Deeply moved. I am a Canadian church organist and am enthralled by your musical gift. Am occasionally in London and would be honoured meet you.

To celebrate 100 years of the RAF I am sneaking this in after our Easter Service. We owe so much to the few. Bravo, Colin.

How does one get the music to this?

I would like to hear this composition played on the Cavaille-coll at St Ouen in Rouen France. It is so very French.

A mate of mine, is playing at the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral on 25th August 2018. His theme is war movie soundtracks., Everybody’s welcome.

Proud to be from Lincoln come on you imps!

Colin. Dismal?? Are you mad. One of the world's greatest organists on arguably the best cathedral organ in the land.

I'm getting a bit of a Vaughn Williams, Tom Tallis, and Messiaen vibe from this! I love it!

Excellent performance, with the correct harmony unlike a few on youtube. ;-)

Barnes-Wallis hated the idea of carpet-bombing a target in the hope of getting lucky. The Tallboy & Grand-Slam also dropped by the Lancaster were used on U boat pens, V-weapon sites and railway viaducts with great success. 617 sqdn also developed very accurate target marking methods, so they did not waste these very special bombs. A Grand-Slam going off has to the biggest conventional explosion ever. Ten tons of RDX dropped from five miles up going deep into the earth before exploding several seconds later. It literally shook the viaducts to destruction & wasted none of the explosive power.

This is gorgeous ..played so well ...it means everything about such brave airmen that gave us our freedom .....thank you all of you

Magnificent! I love this organ. Many years ago I spent an evening all alone locked in Lincoln cathedral practising for Evensong the next day. The only light was a single bulb hanging above the console - and there was lightning and thunder outside as I played Frank's Third Choral!

one question though. did you always have to take out the cord or no? i am thinking about buying(or if too expensive making as i have done in the past) but i am just doing a bit more research first.

at least it is quite! And really cool!

Colin, I think you and I were at Portsmouth Grammar School at the same time. You were rightly celebrated for your keyboard proficiency and musicianship there. I became an opera singer.

An excellent rendition, fit for heroes. #wewillrememberthem.

magnificent demostration,good video

Excellent demonstration, thank you for sharing. Keith.
