David Johnston
(Melbourne)
It’s a great thrill to
present our first show for our 2008, in the hands of this,
Melbourne’s most entertaining theatre
organist. Great music and laughter guaranteed as David includes some short
slap-stick silent movie comedies along with his own great personality-plus
presence at the Wurlitzer console!

SUNDAY JUNE 15 at
2pm — Chris Powell
(UK)
 Those of you who enjoyed
Robert Wolfe’s recent show at the Hollywood won’t want to miss a visit
from another of the “Blackpool Boys”. Almost all organ fans have heard of
the famous Blackpool organist Reginald Dixon, whose lively
dance-time playing style at the Wurlitzer organ of the Blackpool Tower
Ballroom was legendary. Like
Robert, Chris Powell is one of a handful of theatre organists who
perpetuate Reg’s rhythmic and entertaining
playing style. A much loved
artist at the Hollywood Cinema, Chris comes “Down under” to bring
Blackpool to
Hollywood.
