About Horsham Organ and Keyboard Society

We must be doing something right since we have recently celebrated our 30 years and, if anything, the membership is growing slowly, but growing. Maybe it's because there is always a warm friendly atmosphere on club nights and shown here is one of our Christmas concerts with Michael Wooldridge and drummer Phil Solomon giving some idea of how much trouble is taken each month to get things just so and, of course, a lot of thought is given before bookings are made. Look below and you will see the planned performers for next year, varied and always interesting. The icing on the cake at any Horsham concert is that just out of sight is a well stocked bar!  So if you do have a thirst then you can have a drink whilst enjoying the music! As with most clubs, we are sure, the majority of the attending members are primarily interested in having a good musical evening provided once a month by a professional artist or artistes and that is fine. But, there is a significant number of members who want more than that and this picture shows a selection of enthusiasts who regularly attend workshops where we visit a variety of homes giving players a chance to play instruments they would not normally have access too. And, you never know when you will pick up a gem of information to help you with your own playing as a result of a pleasant afternoon at a workshop But that is not all. We also arrange interesting outings to add a bit more spice to our club year. For example, in 2004 there were two outings - one of which was to the Singing Hills Golf Club in Sussex, where, if you did not know it already, there are two excellent theatre organs for listening to and sometimes playing. On this occasion it was a dinner dance with professional keyboard music provided. Then, later in the year there was a coach trip to Thursford, Norfolk where we enjoyed the fabulous Christmas Show that now has a far reaching reputation. So that's us ... why don't you come along and find out for yourself what a pleasant evening can be had?

The club usually meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm.

Subscription rate: £15 per annum per person and £2 at each of the concerts

Visitors: £5

Please be aware that due to circumstances beyond our control (treacherous road & path conditions at the venue) our Feb 8th concert will now be held a week later on the 15th.
