Had the volume up and Static at 5:55 scared the crap outta me.

Blackpool's best imo

John is without a doubt one of the best Wurlitzer players. Went to watch him last month and loved every second.

Hello, Do the sounds come from the Technics GA3 or the V3? Thank you

How could another organist follow that?

V

He makes playing seem so easy on any instrument it’s amazing. Clearly he loves to see that people are enjoying his efforts.

I love the way Mr. Bowdler plays. He seems to be having as much joy playing the Wurlizter as I have listening and watching him. Thank you!

This is amazing. What is that Wurlitzer organ?

The second song is "I cant smile without you"

Bright and breezy Blackpool style.. Liked to just sit in the Tower Ballroom and listen, never danced though. Excellent John.

Fab-u-lous 💯

Fab-u-lous 💯

Absolutely lovely!

You can see IRISH Dancers doing there dance, so great a selection Thanks

Fabulous, I have a GA2 can’t make it sound like you do. Thank so much from Australia 😊

Another great organist with wonderful songs to listen too.

Wonderful music nice and sharp and clear tunes to dance to or just enjoy listening to his playing

The wife of 64 years and I skated to organ music and did ballroom dancing also and it was so relaxing,wish she was with us now. What wonderful selection of tunes THANK YOU

What a beautiful melody John plays that is so for dancing even just to listen too.GREAT

GREAT to listen to John"s music, it puts you in a good mood just what I need

I enjoy John's songs he plays,as a retired 92 old skater and ballroom dancer they are perfect, Wishing my wife of 64 years was with me us to appreciate the music THANK YOU

Lovely, but i wish the organists would push the owners to get rid of that midi piano substitute thats so dated and tonally poor! Just my view on it , maybe it sounds ok in person .?

The Tower Wurlitzer organ is probably the most famous of its breed in the world? Everybody has heard of 'the organ' at the tower even if they dont know its a Wurlitzer? People say about job satisfaction? Ask John or Phil about that one?

I cant look at John Bowdler, without thinking of the actor Donald Pleasance! But both great at what they do best! Are we looking at the next resident organist here, when organist Phil Kelsall retires??

Fabulous performance-complete command of the Technics GA3!

I agree also superb acoustics in that ballroom

love his strict tempo high impact style of playing, delightfully unmistakable.

Fantastic 😂

When I was at school (53 years ago - ouch!!!) working towards my 'A' level music exam we were given a new dictionary of music - I can no longer remember who compiled it - but being a theatre organ lover even at that age I immediately turned to 'W' and there, to my delight was an entry for 'Wurlitzer Organ'. My delight was short lived as the entry read 'An instrument of the pipe organ family designed to play any anything other than one honest note of music. Its demise is not to be mourned'. OK, that's not the actual wording, but very, very nearly so. I loved them in 1969 and love them as much, if not more, in 2022. Truly wonderful instruments on so many levels. Floreat Robert Hope-Jones and Rudolph Wurlitzer!!

seems to have a problem with his hands

His style is amazing and unmistakable

excellent organist--but i wish he'd lose the creepy grin

Beautiful music John both to listen to at Blackpool and to dance to at Orrell. Thank you so much as it's given me a lot of pleasure. I wish you and yours much happiness x

Wonderful john xx

That was great John you are brilliant keep safe God bless

Awesome!

John really shows what a Technics GA3 organ can do with his fine playing . Thanks for the upload Roy 😀

Excellant! Well done that man 👍real toe tappen stuff 😍

Excellant! Well done that man 👍real toe tappen stuff 😍

This is so beautiful. Memories of days gone by and even ball games. Came to hear the sound of one that was installed in the old Toronto's Shea Hippodrome, Canada (demolished for new City Hall). The $55,000 Wurlitzer of 1914 now resides in Toronto's famous Casa Loma. My dad lived this era downtown and would love this. Wonderful, happy, upbeat and gorgeous. Thank you Mr. Bowdler.

This is why they named a race horse after John . " Bouncing Bowdler " He is is in my eyes one of the finest organists both on electronic and theatre organ . John can do minimal work with his playing but brings the best out with his technique. I can only describe it as nice clean playing if that makes sense compared to a few others that go way over the top and sound all muffled up

I would love to be his neighbor and hear him practice thru the walls

All melody with the right hand.

Loved this concert, thank you for the performance

These Tower Ballroom organists take the Blackpool style to any theatre organ they play on Excellent and thanks for the upload

Fantastic sound lovely organ john is great

The tones and lilts and resonance of the many pipes, wind driven at always the optimum flow and generated from deep below the stage yet ever present in the air surrounding this magnificent hall and never echoing badly thus giving organist and ballroomer the best value and electricity. Percy, Oxfordshire.

It's the sound from the organ that reflects off the big mirror and spreads round the hall where the people are but not behind and the side because there are big green curtains there so there will be no and the ceiling too pushes the sound downward for better value and the electricity for the people. Clive, Scunthorpe.

The most complex and difficult instrument to play? You have to use both hands and feet for a start.
