Around The Country
Nigel Ogden presents a programme of popular organ recordings with some entertaining pieces from the organ world.
Nigel Ogden reminds us of some of the theatre organs which can be heard regularly in public concerts around the UK beginning with the ex Odeon Manchester Wurlitzer now in the safe keeping of the Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust. We hear the Compton and Wurlitzer at the notable Burtey Fen Collection in Lincolnshire, the two instruments currently installed at The Folly Farm Theme Park in Tenby and the Pipes in the Peaks located at Dovedale Garage in the Peak District. Phil Kelsall M.B.E. is resident organist at the most played organ in the world let alone here in the UK and he rounds things off with a Noel Coward medley on the Tower Ballroom Wurlitzer in Blackpool.
