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 APRIL CONCERT WITH ELIZABETH HARRISON

It may have been Good Friday but that didn't stop a large audience gathering for the concert given by Elizabeth Harrison. Elizabeth didn't disappoint us. Her medleys contain so many different tunes it is quite difficult to remember them all. She did start with a series of March tunes which included the Luftwaffe March from the film "Aces High" together with many others! "In the Party Mood" better known as Housewive Choice was included in another medley.  We had music in the James Last style, the Prelude in Classic Style and a beautiful version of "Music Box Dancer". "Teddy Bear's Picnic" followed and the march "Blaze Away" and to take us up to the interval the Cha-Cha style "Tea for Two". The second half started with a medley of Scottish tunes including "I Belong to Glasgow", and "Highland Cathedral". It was a really great evening and was very much appreciated by our audience.

Next month our concert, which is on Friday May 1st. will be given by Nicholas Martin BEM. We look forward to seeing you all, so do make a note in your diary for 7.30pm on Friday May 1st. at Coronation Hall, Spa Road, Woodhall Spa, LN10 6PZ.
