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 NOVEMBER CONCERT WITH TONY STACE

Our November concert was given by Tony Stace. Tony was in top form and we had a big audience to appreciate his performance. He started with great gusto with "The Trish Trash Polka" by Johann Strauss II, which he performed brilliantly. There followed a Roy Orbison medley and some Niel Diamond music. He also played some brilliant Spanish music including "The Spanish Gypsy Dance". His first half concluded with part of Beethoven's "Pathetique" Piano Sonata.

The second half started with a brilliant set of tunes played from his "Theatre Organ in a Box" unit, which has all the Blackpool Wurlitzer sounds sampled and stored, starting of course with "The Fascination Waltz" and many, many more. All in all he played a superb concert which was hugely appreciated by our audience, who all definitely went home with a spring in their step!

Next month is our Christmas concert, which is on Friday December 5th. and will be given by our Hon. President Nicholas Martin BEM. Definitely not a night to miss. We look forward to seeing you, so make a note in your diary for 7.30pm on Friday December 5th at Coronation Hall, Spa Road, Woodhall Spa, LN10 6PZ. We look forward to seeing you all. Further information is available from our Chairman Philip Groves on 07419 998158 or visit www.woodhallspa-organ.co.uk.
