The nine competitors for 2014 gathered around the lovely Compton Organ at Fentham Hall just before the competition began.

The judges for the 2014 competition were (L to R) Len Rawle MBE, David Lobban and Damon Willetts, seen here relaxing in the beautiful grounds of Fentham Hall just before the event began.

We were honoured to be joined by John Ledwon, resident organist at The El Capitan Theatre, Hollywood, who said a few words to the audience before the winners were announced.  John organises the ATOS YTOY event in the USA, and was interested to see how we ran ours.
