Special guests this month:
Music and conversation with organist Peter Jebson at Stockport Town Hall and we visit the Victoria Hall in Saltaire, home to the Wurlitzer organ which started life in the Gaumont Cinema in Oldham, and meet one of the busiest all-round keyboard virtuoso performers Andy Quin at the console as guest of the Cinema Organ Society. In our second May programme we catch up with Tony Stace at Cheadle and District Organ Society and discover the connection between cake and keyboards! We travel across to the Peel Green Heritage Centre in Eccles to chat with Keith Beckingham at the console of not one, not two but three theatre and electronic organs under the watchful care of the Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust.
