Theatre Organ

[Mike Hobart]

The pipe organ isn't just used in churches. Once upon a time every theatre and cinema had its resident organist. Fortunately for us, there are still lots of organs and people who want to play them. The Wurlitzer and the Hammond organ, in particular, are amazingly versatile instruments. If you close your eyes during an organ concert, you would almost swear that a whole orchestra had sneaked on stage without you noticing them. Enter the wonderful world of the theatre organ.

I saw Alan Rider at the Theatre Organ Society’s Christmas concert last month, but I wasn’t able to speak to him because I had a dreadful sore throat and had just about lost my voice. Maybe next time.
