Alan Mathew
Our Organist & Choirmaster is Alan Mathew, FGMS, FSCO. He has been with us since November 2009 – initially as our interim organist but was appointed on a permanent basis just in time for Christmas 2009.
He leads the Church’s Adult Choir, plays Williamwood’s 1971 Allen Digital organ for our Sunday Services, as well as looking at areas where we can develop and use music more effectively in the various facets of Williamwood Parish Church.

Equally at home with the children’s choir, the youth groups and the adult choir he runs from one group to the next with energy and enthusiasm!
Prior to his appointment at Williamwood, he served Greenbank Parish Church in a similar role for almost five years, and spent seven years with Airdrie Broomknoll Parish Church as their Director of Music.
Alan regular participates in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery recitals, on the fine three-manual and pedal Lewis organ there. Please check out http://www.organrecitals.com to see more details.
He is immediate past conductor of the Kedron Singers, who are a Glasgow based Christian choir. Alan is an active member of the Lanarkshire Society of Organists, is their President for 2011/12 and acts as web-master for their web-site!
