Lullaby of Birdland - Chris Lawton at Stockport Town Hall

2011-12-08 138

Me playing the giant 4 manual 20 rank Wurlitzer installed in the ballroom at Stockport town hall. This is my most favourite Wurlitzer theatre organ and in my opinion is the best we have in the United Kingdom.

Im playing the delightful 'Lullaby of birdland' which has been sung over the years by a variety of singers such as Ella Fitzgerald and in more recent times Amy Winehouse.

I am certainly not what you would call a 'natural' theatre organist - my instrument being the church organ - but it was wonderful to be able to make another visit to play this magnificent Wurlitzer organ.

NOTE: this is purely my interest in order to make sure that these fine organs are archived forever and I do not make any monetary profit by this video being on dailymotion.
