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 DECEMBER CHRISTMAS CONCERT WITH TONY STACE.

We had an audience of 49 for Tony Stace's Christmas Concert. The combination of the weather conditions and illness was sadly apparent. Tony gave us a truly superb evening of music, most of it new to his concert programme. The highlight of the evening was without doubt his own medley of the music from "The Snowman" which he played to accompany a shortened version of the film which was displayed on a large screen (See picure). The first half of the concert began with a medley of Christmas music followed by an Elvis Presley medley, The Pizzicato Polka by Strauss followed then  another Christmas medley and then a little known March, "Spark" by Kenneth J Alford. He concluded his first half with the "Snowman" medley and film. The second half got off to a lively start with the "Radetsky" March by Strauss followed by music from "Phantom of the Opera". More Christmas music followed and then "The Stars and Stripes" march. We then went Latin American with a Latin medley followed by music from the 70s starting with "Dancing Queen" and concluding with "YMCA". It was a wonderful and memorable evening, thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Very many thanks Tony and we look forward to your return to Woodhall Spa in November 2025.

Next month is our January concert, which being played by Lewis Scott on Friday January 3rd. 2025. at 7.30pm at Coronation Hall, Spa Road, Woodhall Spa, LN10 6PZ. We look forward to seeing you all.
