At a Watchnight Service on New Years Eve, the Parish Church of
St Malachy resounded as Phillip presided at the three-manual
Snetzler organ displaying his musical talents for the last time
at Hillsborough as he brought in the New Year playing the
chorale prelude, ?In dir ist Freude? (In thee is gladness), by J
S Bach.
