Wurlitzer Anniversary Open Day and Events in Tywyn, West Wales

Posted: Saturday 15th August

This year the mighty 3/9 Tywyn Wurlitzer celebrates its 30th anniversary at Neuadd Pendre, Brook Street, Tywyn, Gwynedd, LL36 9DP.  It was originally installed at the Granada Cinema in Woolwich, South East London, where it had opened back in 1937.

To celebrate this landmark anniversary, everyone is invited to a Free 'Drop In' Open Day event from 2:30pm to 7:00pm  on Saturday 29th August.  This special day will allow everyone to learn about the instrument's history and how it works, and will include an exhibition, demonstrations, talks, organ chamber tours, opportunities to have a go, a quiz and refreshments.

To top this special day, top organist David Lowe will reprise the opening concert, with a very special 30th Anniversary Concert at 7:30pm that evening, Saturday 29th August.

If you can’t make it to the anniversary day, it is still well worth making the trip to Tywyn, as it is one of the most lovely preserved Wurlitzers in the UK, with a gorgeous sound.  Upcoming events are:

Saturday 12th September 7:30pm  A concert with highly prolific and famous composer Andy Quin

Sunday 25th October 7:30pm  The One Man Music Show with Matthew Bason

Saturday 7th November 7:30pm  A special silent film night featuring 'The Cabinet of Dr Calgary' with live score by Aaron Hawthorne at the Wurlitzer
