The Clydebank Wurlitzer


At the Town Hall in Clydebank near Glasgow, Scotland, a mighty Wurlitzer was installed a few years ago and has been growing ever since (from 2m to 3m and from 8 ranks to many more), nourished by the fine acoustics of this proscenium theatre. Writes Keith Beckingham who plays it on this CD, “Growing up in the fifties meant that inevitably I was strongly influenced by the theatre organists of the time and seduced by the distinctive sounds of famous Wurlitzers such as the Granada, Tooting, and the Regal, Kingston upon Thames. This recording strives to capture the atmosphere of those days with a selection of easy-on-the-ear favourites played on the superb Clydebank Wurlitzer.”
