Me playing the superb 3 manual Compton organ installed at the Plaza cinema in Stockport.
I am playing 'Heartaches' which was composed in 1931 and later made famous by Ted Weems Orchestra. I make a big feature of the 'Sand Block' percussion stop in this video.
As stated in my other theatre organ videos, my main instrument is the church organ and I am not a natural player when it comes to playing theatre organs but it was wonderful to be able to play this instrument - an organ still in its original home!

REQUEST: I am always on the lookout for Compton organs to play - particularly electrones - so if you know of any churches which still have these then please do let me know. I will happily give a donation or pay any applicable room hire charge.
