Royal Wedding music

Robert Quinney (b. 1976), sub-organist at Westminster Abbey, provided organ music for the royal wedding in 2011.  Here he is part of a short interview with a commentator who obviously knows some about music-making.  The video is a nice introduction to the organ in general, and a tantalizing look at the Abbey instrument in particular.
