Farewell to the Eston Wurlitzer

[revtonynewnham]

Hi

From another list -
"It is with much sadness to announce the following details regarding the final concert at Eston.

Sadly, the James Finegan Hall at Eston is to close at the end of May. The final concert featuring the ex Granada, Bedford Wurlitzer will take place on Sunday 24th April (Easter Sunday) at 2.30pm.

The concert will feature Kevin Grunill, Matthew Bason & Richard Openshaw.

Door admission is £6.50

It would be wonderful if we could give the Wurlitzer a good send-off, after providing more than three decades of Theatre Organ entertainment in the area."

The ongoing problem of secure venues for theatre organs raises it's head again.

Every Blessing

Tony

Yes, they arent easy to find somewhere to put them. If the Regal Marble Arch project ever gets anywhere, that will take a LONG time to find a suitable place to be installed.
However, Im sure the Eston Wurlitzer will find a new home, its not a particularly large instrument. There is also the Troxy Stepney project coming up, and there is much rumour of an organ being re-installed in Blackpools Empress Ballroom.
