We're very much looking forward to Cameron Lloyd's concert on Sunday. He'll be playing a tribute to Reginald Dixon, songs from the stage and screen, and much more.

Doors open 1.15 for a 2.00 pm start. Thorngate Halls, Bury Rd, Gosport PO12 3PX

Over a hundred people came to Thorngate Halls on Thursday for our Buster Keaton event, and what a superb evening it was!

Rob Hind from the Ritz cinema introduced the film. One of Keaton's amazing stunts left him with a broken neck. It didn't stop him filming and might explain why Sherlock Junior is slightly shorter than his other films, but with so many great gags packed into 47 minutes, it has become one of the silent cinema's best loved classics.

Michael Wooldridge demonstrated some of the features and special effects of the theatre organ, and explained his approach to accompanying movies. Then we settled down and experienced the film just as it was intended. The live accompaniment was absolutely superb, manipulating our emotions without taking our attention away from the screen. Thank you Michael for giving us such a splendid feel-good evening.

We'll have another movie in the autumn. Make sure you keep November 12th free!

Looking forward to welcoming Michael Wooldridge to the console on March 12th for our silent movie. Sherlock Junior is one of Buster Keaton's best-loved films. Rob Hind from the Film Club will begin the evening with an introductory talk.
Tickets £10 at the door.
Our refurbishment programme is progressing well, and the organ is sounding better than ever. If you would like to contribute towards the restoration of the vibraphone, go to our Justgiving page at https://tinyurl.com/m4by4tk6

All is bright!

We didn't have our usual Christmas concert this year but the elves have been busy. After a lot of elbowgrease and brasso, the bars of the vibraphone are shinier than they have been in decades. Looking forward to hearing it again in the new year when it is re-installed.

Keep an eye on this page for news of next year's events. The organ will be entertaining visitors to the Winterfest b**r festival on February 27th and 28th, and we will have another silent movie on March 12th. More details nearer the time.
