Extract from his father's obituary in 1919: For 41 years Joseph Farey was the Baptist choir conductor and under his conductorship the choir won several prizes at the Crystal Palace and one at Northampton. His son, the late Mr. George Farey, also a very accomplished musician, held the position of organist at the Baptist Church for 20 years before he left to go to Canada where he died six years go.
