Hi

I got to the monthly Cinema Organ Society concert at Victoria Hall, Saltaire yesterday.  Very good.  3 organists and a brass band!  Excellent value for money!  The concert was a tribute to the late Arnold Loxam (at one time organist at the Gaumont, Bradford) and a well-known player in the area.  Organists were David Lowe, Joe Marsh, and a youngster, Mary Ann Wootton - who if her spot yesterday is anything to go by, will be a well known theatre organist before too much longer.

The presentation was slightly marred by poor follow-spot work (hopefully down to lack of rehearsal) and a few late lighting cues, and more seriously, a sound operator who left the hand-held radio mic faded up when it was being retrieved and replaced on the console - with assorted clunks & bangs!

Next event (which I can't get to as we have our church Christmas lunch) is 12th Dec. at 2:30, featuring Richard Hills and the choir of Bradford Cathedral, conducted by Andrew Teaugue.  Should be well worth the visit if at all possible.

Every Blessing

Tony
