Yesterday’s announcement:

Here at Belfast Cathedral we are delighted that Stephen will be joining our Music Department in September 2023, serving as our principal accompanist for all Cathedral services.
Stephen, a renowned and talented organist who has held various high-level musical positions in the Belfast area who has featured on many broadcasts and recordings, will bring with him a vast wealth of experience that we look forward to hearing each week, on an organ that he is already so very well acquainted with.
Welcome to the Cathedral community, Stephen!

UPDATE: The tweet has just been deleted from Stephen’s social media.
