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.

We were treated to a magnificent concert on Friday 4th April when Ellizabeth Harrison played a very varied programme of great music.

She opened with “I can’t take my eyes off you” followed by an old favourite - The Sports Report March, “Out of the Blue”. She then transported us to the Tower ballroom at Blackpool for a medley of dance music, using the Blackpool Wurlitzer sounds. We were then treated to “Now I Know” from James Last, the “Aces High” march and unusually a Paso Doble, “Skyliner” and much more. She concluded her first half with a medley of Cha Cha music finishing aptly with “Tea For Two”.

The second half opened with “You’ve Got Troubles, I’ve Got Mine”. There was an Old Time Waltz medley, the March “Sons of the Brave” and  then some Scottish music including “Highland Cathedral”. Elizabeth then played the lovely “Music Box Dancer” which she plays so beautifully. The concert concluded with “The More I See You” and following tremendous applause she played for her encore “We’ll Meet Again”; a sentiment echoed by the whole of our audience. Thank you Elizabeth for a really great evening of music and entertainment.

Our concert next month will be given by Andrew Nix and is on Friday 2nd May, 2025 at 7.30pm at Coronation Hall, Spa Road. Woodhall Spa, LN10 6PZ. We look forward to seeing you all.
