Nigel O is such a kind and courteous gentleman, with a keen eye for the eclectic and a wonderful appreciation of heritage. We badly miss his BBC programme.
My late father left me his Hammond organ. A 1970s electronic, dual keyboard, with drawbars and double octave pedals. I wanted to learn to play like Nigel Ogden. Turned out more like Stan Ogden😂
Absolutely love that vintage blower motor starter. I would have liked to see the blower itself. Breat video. When I get home, I'll plug the laptop into a big amp & speakers and turn the wick up to eleven! Cheers!
I miss the organist entertains on radio too Nigel. You are a great organist and presenter. I am 80yrs old and played piano and organ. This video is awsome. I met Reginald after his organ concert in Leicester (about 1971-2) shook his ‘magical’ hand, and he signed his LP (to me) I’ll never forget that evening. So watching you bringing him, and the Tower Ballroom back to life has been WONDERFUL. Thank you so much for playing the Wurlitzer for us and recording your personal tribute to MR BLACKPOOL you are awsome too !! 😊😊😊 Jim
WOW . This brought back great memories of Regional Dixon. I remember listening to 78's as a very young lad of around 14 years. Many years ago. I still love Theatre Organ. I need to get back into ATOS again
I perfectly agree I got use to tuning into The Organist entertains everyweek I found the music always maded me fully relaxed. Everytime I was In Blackpool I maded time to visit the tower Ballroom.
Nor have I. And 'Listen to the Band' with Charlie Chester that was scrapped at about the same time. All in favour of yet more tedious 'talking heads' modern pop programmes, of which there are already so many and for which Radio 1 is the appropriate venue. Probably because yet another trendy agist young producer wanted to make his/her mark. And we still have to pay the licence extortion.
I have just Truly Enjoyed your program -- I am in Alabama in the states --- You kind Sir, are the Master of Entertainment -- AND, you Sir, Totally Love this instrument,and it's home. Blessings to you and your family always!! Take Care dear friend!!!
I don't contribute to the BBC and that's probably why they took 'The Organist Entertains' off the air as a reprisal. The most important thing to the BBC is to maintain their ratings. It is their god above all else which is surprising since they don't have to work for their money but it does mean a 'lowest common denominator' mentality. John Reith tried to avoid all this but after every great person comes a series of baddies, rendering all their work of no avail.

I used to love Nigel's show on Radio 2. ❤
Me too!
I still miss the Organist Entertains on the Radio. I followed it from the days of Robin Richmond
Me too. A seismic loss to cinema and classical organs aficionados. The internet is no substitute for just switching on BBC LP/ Radio.2.

❤👍👍 bravo Monsieur Ogden , un bel hommage a "Reg"

Wondefful stuff. I still haven't forgiven the BBC for scrapping "The Organist entertains" on Radio2 with Nigel. Why?!
I perfectly agree I got use to tuning into The Organist entertains everyweek I found the music always maded me fully relaxed. Everytime I was In Blackpool I maded time to visit the tower Ballroom.
BBC are dicks and always will be with great organ music 😉.
Me too !!!
Great Program, very talented Organist too.

Pure magic, brings back a lot of very happy memories. Thank you.

Excellent Nigel. Very enjoyable selection.
Enjoying this fine organ music. I enjoyed seeing how you get down to it!
Tremendous 😊
Great playing nigel Thankyou 👍. I'll walk beside you fantastic playing❤.
I do love the sound of those combination piston pneumatics....
I loved this!
Lovely sound 👌
I have this DVD but haven't watched it in ages! Thanks for uploading :)
So the roots of the theater organ are traceable to Lancashire, via Hope-Jones. The same place Ecky-Thump comes from :-D
Wunderschööön! 💕💕
Good sound even comes close to the tower ballroom wurlitzer
LOL!! @@autrycourt7314

Agreed. A fair analysis!

Subtitles would be nice to have.
Why? It's in English. :->
Because I'm deaf? I can sort of hear the music, but not speech.
