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
Really interesting interview. I used to listen to the Organist Entertains every week, driving home from London to Wiltshire, where I was living at the time. I’ve been very touched by the evident friendliness of the cinema organists I’ve met, although I’ve not yet met Nigel. I had seen Nigel’s video tour of the Blackpool Tower Wurlitzer well before I had the opportunity to play it, and I have to say how much I enjoy Nigel’s relaxed style. (Yours too, Damon). Looking forward to the next interview!
Even I don't have any razor blades, only clippers, they don't work. Ive met Nigel on two occasions, he's such a nice person and obviously a great organist and I always enjoyed listening to The Organist Entertains and there are videos on RUclips, in other words, the organ world is still very much alive. Enjoyed this interview of Damon and Nigel.

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

So nice to see you looking so well Nigel. I remember some of your exploits at the Odeon and Gaumont Manchester back in the 1970's
excellent and there is Nigel's Compton electrone model 363 in the background I see! Was hoping we would get a tune or two on it!
Fantastic interview. Most interesting. The new look really suits you, Nigel!
Looking forward to hearing you play again (soon, I hope!)

Wonderful stuff. Thank you both.
Id love to be able to find the chords Nigel plays at the end of From This Moment On. Just brilliant arrangement.
Good old Nigel! My good friend of many years, I miss our coffee and cake meets at St Anne’s (where I live).
Thoroughly enjoyable!
Does anyone know who performed the march "King Football". I'm not sure if it's on the conn 651 or Wurlitzer. Cheers for any info.
I wish he had played the tower ballroom wurlitzer alot more
forgot razor blades, still looking very sharp indeed 😎 🙏 🇳🇱
