Blackpool Opera House Wurlitzer

Hi there,

We've been very fortunate to be able to organise more concerts at the Blackpool Opera House, in this, it's 70th year!

The first is on March 4th at 2.00pm with Robert Wolfe.

Work continues on the organ to keep it playing and work has finally started to re-install a Xylophone, the original being removed many years ago. In the near future, the regulators (bellows) in the organ will need attention which is going to prove a difficult job because the organ will have to be un-playable whilst this work is carried out!

Hope to see some fellow 'OrganFaxers' there!

Regards to all,

Cameron.
