I just read to Halifax Renaissance then I choked with laughter

We are a community interest company forming a National Collection of Pipe Organs and have been offered the possibility of utilizing the redundant All Souls Church in Boothtown. The Project aims to bring together the old and the new in an exciting venture by providing cutting edge computer facilities for music making and composition,( A similar scheme operates in the new Sage building in Gateshead),while making the pipe organs available to the public.

We are a community interest company forming a National Collection of Pipe Organs and have been offered the possibility of utilizing the redundant All Souls Church in Boothtown. The Project aims to bring together the old and the new in an exciting venture by providing cutting edge computer facilities for music making and composition,( A similar scheme operates in the new Sage building in Gateshead),while making the pipe organs available to the public.All Souls will be suitable for the smaller instruments but the larger ones would obscure the features of the place which is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.We have been looking at the possibility of placing a structure of the same design as the Westgate Canopy on the existing foundations of the demolished Square Church.This could provide the space to house up to six very large pipe organs ( the church contained a dramatic and beautiful specimen before the fire ) could provide a connection to the Station, the Piece Hall and the Industrial Museum buildings to the side which could be incorporated in the scheme and provide a large performance space alongside the Square chapel adding to the facilities in this Cultural Quarter.The building is directly below and in line with Westgate and such a structure would bring a coherence to the proposed development of this site and the town centre as a whole and they could even be joined in some way to produce a covered walkway from the Station to Westgate, via the Piece Hall either through it or running alongside the wall between the Square Chapel Arts Centre and the Spire of the Old Church, which would resume its place in the structure of the building.The light thrown up from this glass structure would illuminate the spire and the buildings around it. We also propose to produce a lighting scheme for All Souls in its commanding and beautiful position above Dean Clough.We intend to support as many local community projects as possible in the scheme.Adam Ben Sun,3 St Jam
