Lovely performance. Thank you for sharing the link to this, Chris! 👍
Love this.
Superbly done, Compton sounds great.
One if the best renderings of That’s Entertainment I’ve heard. Brilliant!❤
Lovely playing.
Probably the most beautiful song I've heard, it's hard to believe that is not a real orchestra! I'm trying to learn it on my Lowrey Holiday organ.
Usual quality playing from Will 🙂👏
Absolutely brilliant ! Thank you.
Beautiful 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Expertly played David, very enjoyable. Best wishes to you, Karen and Winston. Chris, your IOM Steam, carriage companion (Aug 3, 2024)
Lovely arrangement of an old standard played with masterful registrations.
That's sounds really good. Great player is Christian Cartwright. The organ sounds really splendid.
I love the way he sways to his playing!
A Wurlitzer it's not, but the arrangement and musicianship make up for it.
🎉bravo
Lovely playing. This, in my opinion, is the best sounding Compton theatre organ ever.
Very rodwellian. Lovely.
Thank I enjoyed this I grew up with the tonic Compton in school
Mark played for us at the 2019 ATOS Convention, he's first class!
Great job!! Thanks much! I am 70 yo in US, just discovering through YT the great organs.
Very nice Phil! Excellent performance and amazing organ.
I love theatre organ when not played in the Blackpool style. Great organist.
Some lovely Rodwellian touches there.
Superb player and a superb instrument in perfect harmony.
Mark, please come back to Dickinson soon!
Should have left tablet on music rack for voice announcements.
Fantastic !!!!!!
Great skill, a master at that console! Video editing is great too. Love seeing the elements in action.
Bravo! Very enjoyable!
You play that organ beautifully Jean and I would love to play it too.
Thanks John, excellent musical mixed with comedy, where I was born the town was blssed with two cinemas each with whurlitzer organs, I remember the name of the organist at the Regent cinema, Harold Flatman, he also like you would have little comedy chat, but for me the best was Saturday mornings which was children only. I am 86 and still enjoy listening to organ music.
Phil Kelsall is a MASTER OF THIS INSTRUMENT. HIS TIMING IS FANTASTIC AMBASSADOR FOR THE ORGAN
❤
Goosebumps!
David's rendition of Moonglow for the organ is the very best. It is so peaceful and relaxing. Thank you, David!
Hi Kevin. At the start of Robert's program, the side panels were 'illuminated' in deep blue and looked fabulous! Unfortunately it only remained like that briefly. I think it would be great to create that 'jelly mould' effect more often, and project a kaleidoscope of colours on the 'neutral' console! Excellent playing by Robert as always.
Hi Brian. The console was illuminated in blue at the beginning of this video as it seemed appropriate for the song ‘Serenade in Blue’. Perhaps we could make more use of the coloured lighting in the future. Thanks for your comment, it’s always good to have feedback and suggestions! - Declan
One irritation here: I wish he stops that swaying around while he plays.
One irritation here: Your comment!... Are you serious!
Wonderful.
Excellent Iain
This is marvellous. I think this may technically be the finest piece I’ve heard you play, Iain.
