At the Astoria - View concerts online!Like many venues, the Astoria Centre at Barnsley is currently unable to open to present its regular series of dances and concerts. In response to this, the Penistone Cinema Organ Trust has recorded a special series of episodes called “At The Astoria”. The first of these is now available to watch online via YouTube and features none other than Blackpool’s ‘Maestro of Music’ - Phil Kelsall MBE at the console of the magnificent Compton organ.
