Tuesday Night Live

Organ builder Kevin Meayers joins us to talk about the recent restoration work on White's Gavioli, and we'll let you hear some exclusive new recordings.

A Tuesday Night Live exclusive. Terry and Sandra Sleeman have four new CD recordings now available of the Ex-Jennings Marenghi. For details of the new CD releases, email [email protected]

In this episode, we feature what is possibly one of the most played organs in the country! The Dean Organ in the Brighton Beach Gallopers, owned by Owen Smith, regularly plays up to 12 hours a day through the season. We have a couple of recordings of it (without the perspex covers) and the story of how it turned out to be a very different instrument from the one originally commissioned by the late Dave Corbin. Richard Dean from Dean Organ Builders is our guest at 2100hrs (9pm). www.mechanicalmusicradio.com

A special programme about the Southern Counties Organ Festival which returns this weekend on Devizes Green. We have a packed hour of interviews and music, and the usual games such as Connect Four and the One Second Song.

Join us for a special Tuesday Night Live tonight with organ builder David Burville from The Repair Shop. He was behind the application to get mechanical organ building listed as an endangered craft, which should open up some exciting opportunities and interest.

Of course, while he's on, we asked him a few questions about the filming of the hit BBC One television show too!
