Nev Bentley, 89, said the experience was 'out of this world'
A great-grandad who second-guessed his daughter when she told him to get an early train to Liverpool city-centre was met with an "out of this world" surprise.
"She said I'm going to have to tell you now - I've been on to St George's Hall and they're going to let you have a look at the organ. It transpired the organ tuners were there and they actually tuned the organ at our local Anglican church - that was quite a coincidence. A keen musician and organist, he has played in many local churches in the area - past and present. Married to wife Maureen for nearly 66 years, together they have two children, Lynda and Graham, as well as four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
"In later life, I was called into the forces and spent 19 months in Singapore. I never went to church because I was a Methodist and all the local churches were Anglican but there, like America I believe, they were more open to different sounds.
