A special extra November edition of the programme and an opportunity to hear the superb 3/12 Wurlitzer in the Victoria Hall at Saltaire near Shipley in West Yorkshire. Many people will know that the organ originally started life in the Gaumont Cinema in Oldham but after its removal from there in 1961 has has three additional homes across the pennines before its installation at Saltaire 22 years ago. We were lucky be able to record a concert on Remembrance Sunday presented by the COS Northern Society starring NICHOLAS MARTIN B.E.M. at the console but on this occasion our microphones were sited in the balcony to capture the nuances of what is regarded to be one the areas finest theatre organs.

If you would like to hear the ex Oldham Wurlitzer live - organist Michael Wooldridge will be entraining next month with no doubt some seasonal favourites on Sunday December 12th at 2.30pm. for details of that telephone [phone] after 7pm or visit www.cinema-organs.co.uk/tickets.

Recording by kind permission of the artist and the COS Northern District Committee, using Zoom H4N Pro recorder, additional Rode Microphones and no post-processing or enhancements.
