Alphabet Blogging - M

M is for the Mighty Wurlitzer

I'm still dancing to the Mighty Wurlitzer and am trying to add the Samba, Salza and Rhumba to my repertoire. The trouble is that people seem to dance all sorts of different routines so it's quite difficult to follow. I'll get there though, I'm sure.

Here's a clip from YT  - I'm in there somewhere dancing the Pride of Erin Waltz.


There are quite a few organists playing on the Wurlitzer. Phil Kelsall has been playing there since 1975.

Here's a tour around the organ.

Part 1

Part 2

I'm lucky enough to be able to dance to this fantastic instrument every week in the wonderful Tower Ballroom.

    I've only been in the tower ballrooom once but the sound from the Wurlitzer was amazing. I'm glad they have kept it running all these years. It's a real piece of social history.
