The launch last week of the CD Organs in the City of Cork played by Colin Nicholls is a reminder of the Cork 2005 International Pipe Organ Festival, which continues until Wednesday.

As part of the festival, some well-known but rarely heard instruments can be heard in both city and county. It also includes a recital by Sophie-Véronique Cauchefer-Choplin of St Sulpice in Paris on Tuesday at 8pm at St Fin Barre's Cathedral.
