Tony Fenelon & John Atwell

Tony's insatiable interest in lighter music and a love of the majestic sound of the Wurlitzer Unit Orchestra (Theatre Organ) led to his "other" career, leading to his appointment in 1965 as the resident organist at Melbourne's then prestigious Regent Theatre. Tony made his first tour of the United States back in 1969, and has returned at least 30 plus times.  He has performed at some of the most prestigious theatre organ venues in the U.S. including, the Oakland Paramount, the Ohio Theatre, Columbus, San Sylmar, the Sanfillipo residence, the Orpheum Phoenix, the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, Seattle Paramount with John Atwell, and at the Dickinson High School Kimball to mention a few. 

In 2014 Tony returned to the Regent again with Richard Hills in presenting the “Tale of Two Organs” to a very appreciative audience of some 1,500 people from Melbourne and interstate.

John Atwell receives repeat invitations to play concerts at theatre organ venues around Australia both as a solo performer, as well as in piano/organ duo combination with his long-time colleague and friend, Tony Fenelon.     

John has also taken his talents overseas on many occasions, playing performances in the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom Europe and New Zealand. John has just completed another playing tour of the UK this October 2019.
