Welcome to another edition of the award-winning Community Keyboards - celebrating all that's best from the King of Instruments in all its guises - from theatre and classical organs to the latest in digital keyboard technology and beyond. The August bank holiday weekend saw the return of the Cinema Organ Society’s Northern Convention featuring several of the area’s theatre organs and a dozen or so organists to entertain on them. Our microphones visited the Stockport Town Hall where RICHARD HILLS provided an excellent programme to show the many nuances of the Queen Wurlitzer so sit back and let’s join the audience. Following on from that, a first-time visit to the Saltaire Wurlitzer for American star organist MARK HERMAN where, once again, we recorded some musical highlights from his concert there. Many thanks to the Trustees of the COS Northern District and the Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust for kind permission to record their instruments.
