Simon Gledhill
Simon's first “live” experience of the theatre pipe organ was seeing and hearing Ernest Broadbent play the mighty Wurlitzer at the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool. A short time afterwards, he discovered a privately-owned instrument close to his home, and started making weekly practice visits. In 1982 he entered and won the UK Northern Young Theatre Organist of the Year competition. Nigel Ogden, presenter of the BBC radio program, The Organist Entertains, was in the audience, and invited him to record for the program on the BBC theatre Organ. The resulting broadcasts generated a flurry of concert offers, and Simon has since performed at all the major UK theatre organ venues as well as others in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and North America. Following his ATOS Convention debut in Portland, Oregon in 1988, he has performed at countless Annual and Regional Conventions. He was named ATOS Organist of the Year in 1997 and inducted into the ATOS Hall of Fame in 2015. Simon's music has won high praise from his peers, Lyn Larsen described him as “That rare combination of flawless technique, impeccable phrasing and an unerring sense of musical good taste,“ while Nigel Ogden said, “Here is someone who was born to be a theatre organist. His ability has rightfully earned him the genuine admiration of both audiences and colleagues alike.”
Come along and bring your friends, family, children and grand-children for a magical afternoon of music in a true theatre atmosphere with theatre lighting to set the mood. |
