Superb!

This organ has a sound different to the rest, or is it my hearing?

Always a pleasure to listen to Phil, thankyou…

For those of us who listened every week to Nigel Ogden’s recording of this great song, I’ve been really surprised at how few videos there are of anyone else playing it. ThIs version by Declan is really excellent

❤ Wurlitzer Pipe Organ,s are the Best !!!!!!❤

The 1st film was, not so much that it starred Robert Donat, but rather it co-starred Madeleine Carroll, who was born and grew up in Herbert Street, West Bromwich.

They talk about THE MIGHTY WURLITZERS but I reckon that the Compton Organs especially with the Mellotone are a far superior sounding organ.

A brilliant performance, as always from Richard Hills! Question: What are the two levers / indicators in the centre of the top row of stop tabs? Air pressure indicators?

Amazing. What a fantastic artist..

It makes me miss 'The Organist Entertains' on Tuesday evenings on BBC Radio 2.

Absolutely breath taking!!

19 years ago from. France discovered dancing years medley from R hills. Playing music every day now

Som muito bom mesmo

April 7, 2024 Mr. Hills came to our small, Northern California town that dates to the 1849 Gold Rush. He played to a crowd of about 200 an amazing assortment of music. He returned to the console for a grand Encore tune or two. Following that he responded to the group that was chanting More, More and he did this time with and amazing rendition of Tiger Rag all on an organ that he saw two days before ! To Mr. Hills, Thanks so much for the concert and signing one of the organ pipes that I am building ! And thanks to to Walt Strony who made it all happen !

superb...i religiously listened each friday to nigels programme...I was given a VIP pass and ticket fo the 25 anniversary of the organist entertaines held at the tower. An all star cast of superb players. featured. I met up with nigel in the ballroom during reharesals prior to the broadcast it was a thril to meet such a legend nigel ogden. Wonderful to see the great man again. Paul Long Blackpool Organist

I remember back in the 70s David Shepherd doing a concert at the Marsden Green Hospital on the 3/10 Compton.

I saw Simon at the Victoria Hall, Hanley in the early '90s playing the Conacher Concert organ there which had been rebuilt in 1988 by Hill, Norman & Beard. Does he only play cinema organs these days?

A rich clear sound with plenty of depth, perfect, thank you.

7:16 time to 7:33 is amazing. I can't believe this sound here! Impeccable!

This is best video I have seen that clearly shows the difference between playing an organ and playing a piano.

Well done that man👍👍 listening from Melbourne Australia🐻🦘🦘

Is there any other videos available from this concert by chance? Thank you

He must be AI generated, that was unbelievable and how his fingers stand up to that pounding.

MARAVILHOSO!!!

This is brilliant in ever way.

Really enjoyed that - Great performance - great variation in registrations throughout which keeps it interesting - plus accuracy of the notes is clear and concises. It’s also great that the sound isn’t too dry - makes for a very pleasurable listen! Well done.

Why sped up?

How does he do that ? Like watching a video on fast forward 😊

Fabulous playing as ever

So much great talent as usual from Phil Kelsall

Brilliant

Awesome.

Fantastic

Bet the trems & tibias don't get this kind of workout at Sunday Mass 😀

Great!

What a beautiful arrangement....I truly like this song. Great player on the Wurlitzer.

He plays exquisitely…….as if singing it in his head he takes the mechanical sound out of the machine. So smooth, and clear, he rates up there with Mike Reed now deceased.

i saw Simon at Harworth OE,nearly 30 years ago, he played 'The Thieving Magpie', and got a standing ovation.

Wow! Another Millennial who "gets it!"

Glad that the carpets in the tower ballroom are now totally clear of the dance floor so that the acoustics are has they where

I wish he had played the tower ballroom wurlitzer alot more

Wonderful 😊

Good morning Richard., I am a professional theater organist in St. Louis , Mo. USA. I would truly appreciate if you could send me a copy of “THEATERLAND “. Here is my gmail : gerardmmarian@ gmail.com. Thank you so much ; Gerry Marian

Thank you so much for providing this superb example of the incredible talent of Richard Hills, and the beautiful installation at the Troxy. My wife and I had the pleasure of hearing Richard at the Troxy in 2017, and the present video’s high quality allows us to better savor those wonderful memories. As an amateur organist, it’s always a treat to watch Richard play, with the frequent piston changes flowing smoothly and seemingly effortlessly under his command. We look forward to his performance this summer at the Sanfilippo Estate.

I appreciated that lift up! 🎶 ❤️

It is as though Quentin Maclean has come back! Richard Hills is more than capable, yet understands measure and phrasing, which gives further extension toward the huge palette that an instrument such as this can give. Not from any mere random selection was he was expressly chosen to perform at the Royal Albert Hall Father Willis organ in a special Sunday afternoon recital a decade ago. A pity we can't get to hear the Compton 'in-concert' at the Hammersmith Gaumont (Odeon/Apollo venue) beyond the one short clip that was uploaded some years ago with Richard at the keys.

I anxiously await each and every video of Richard Hills I can locate on RUclips! This is why🥰!!!

Fabulous Wurlitzer at the Troxy. Love the sound in pure Stereo. Richard Hills does a great performance and sure to be a great evening at the Troxy.

🇳🇱👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀
