About Woodhall Spa and District Organ Society

The Woodhall Spa & District Organ Society has been in existence for over 25 years, to promote and encourage interest in electronic and theatre organs, both from the playing and listening viewpoint, and generally promote the Woodhall Spa & District Organ Society for the benefit of its members and guests. To widen our appeal we now promote our concerts under the name of "MUSIC FOR WOODHALL".

The “Music for Woodhall” concerts, hosted by the Woodhall Spa and District Organ Society have moved to Coronation Hall, Spa Road, Woodhall Spa, LN10 6PZ and are held on the first Friday of the month.

Coronation Hall offer us many advantages.  From the audience point of view there is a decent sized car park available, which is floodlit at night and is also covered by CCTV with 24 hour recording.  Access to the hall is on the level with no steps to negotiate. The hall is warm and comfortable. It is equipped with a nice Kitchen with a serving counter adjacent to a lounge area with comfortable seating. We layout small tables and chairs, cabaret style, for the audience and refreshments are brought to the tables during the interval.  The stage is fitted with an LED lighting system, complete with control desk, which greatly reduces the rigging time and the organists have a pleasant dressing area behind the stage.

OUR JULY CONCERT WITH ROD POOLEY

A good sized audience gathered for Rod Pooley’s concert. He opened with “You’re the One” quickly followed by a Viennese Waltz. “Let it Shine” from Take That followed and a medley of tunes from Abba, some French music, the famous theme from the film “Titanic” culminating in a tremendous version of Irish music in the style of “Riverdance” to finish the first half of the concert. The second half opened with “You are the Sunshine of my Life” and some tunes from Boyzone, including “No Matter What”. Rod really got the audience behind him with “The Dambusters” March and the theme from “Dad’s Army”. Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song” was very well received by the audience and then Rod sang “Route 66” which was also very popular.  The second half continued with “Blue Moon”, “Mambo No.5” and some Country and Western music and culminated in Abba’s “Waterloo”. All in all it was a great evening of music and was very well received by our audience.

Next month our concert, which is on Friday August 7th  will be given by Michael Wooldridge and promises to be another great night of music.  We look forward to seeing you all there, so do make a note in your diary for 7.30pm on Friday August 7th. at Coronation Hall, Spa Road, Woodhall Spa, LN10 6PZ.
