Absolutely superb Mark! Your playing is top notch. It must have been a wonderful experience playing that famous WurliTzer and having the support of Chris Hopkins whose filming of you at the console - and of the couples dancing - was splendid. Well done to you both!

Thanks for the nice comments. and yes I have a few more clips that will be on soon. Keep checking back!

Really good. I’ve done this twice now, but I didn’t get a decent video, which was a bit dumb! There are quite a few Wurlitzers around the UK but the ambiance and history of Blackpool Tower Ballroom make it a truly memorable experience. I was enormously grateful to Chris Hopkins, the professional Tower organist who turned out at an early hour to supervise me and show me around the organ. I’m impressed with your playing. It’s a fairly intimidating experience, maybe overwhelming is a better word, and the organ is SO LOUD! You can’t practice quietly! I hope you manage to make further visits as it all helps to keep the old girl going!

Really good. !

That's really wonderful!!! It made me dance sitting on my chair (as I'm working right now!!)

You have inspired me to want to have a go at doing this!

Thanks Graeme - always nice to get positive comments, particularly from someone who has played there!

Thanks for the comments! You get 3 guests and obviously yourself within the main price, and then each additional guest is £5 pp. Wasn't aware that the organ wasn't at its full potential - the sound was no different to when the tower organists were playing it later in the day. Cheers

Well Done, very nice playing !

Great to hear hope to see it one soon Robin

Mind blowing mate!!!

this is the best place to experience the wonderful sounds of the Wurlitzer organ go to blackpool tower put it on your bucket list. ;-}

Great Organ & very well played

Hi ceegeeBarron Yes, I'm playing from standard music, mostly treble clef and chord symbols. I did around 10 years on the dance circuit in Cheshire and Staffordshire, so picked up some ideas / sometimes bad habits from there. Cheers Mark

Please click on the following link. It's not cheap, but well worth doing! www.theblackpooltower.com/attractions/the-blackpool-tower-ballroom.aspx Cheers Mark

Great stuff but how did you know what sounds the pre-sets produced?

The first dancers you see are my mum and dad-in-law, the not so professional dancers are my mum and her partner lol

Hi we know a very good organist who would kill to go on the Wurlitzer. How did you manage to organise it?

I was going to do this around my 50th birthday but it coincided with half the organ being out of action so that idea was scuppered.Still my missus wouldnt have been too chuffed spending £250 on theatre organ stuff!She hates the things!Saw John Bowdler last night so ive got the whole Blackpool thing going again.

Is that you Mum and Dad dancing?

where are the pipes?
