The Mighty Wurlitzer!

[Panavision]

Went to Eccles last night to hear a 2/20 Wurlitzer being played at the Lancastrain Theatre Organ Soc. Just like a 1930s kinema, with rising keyboard console and musical accompaniment to Laurel & Hardy filums! Blinking marvellous!

See my previous post about the magnificent Compton at the thriving Plaza Cinema, Stockport. There are a number of clips of it on You Tube (just search for Plaza Stockport). It is also shown on the Plaza's website at THE PLAZA STOCKPORT



I wouldn't be surprised if Panavision has already been there as it's even nearer to him than Eccles!!

Blimey, Orpheum, only one in London!?



And, yes, Tom, I've seen it at the Plaza! I also went there last Feb to see Ken Dodd. Gave up at 12.45am due to pins and needles in legs - but Ken was still going strong!
