I have just returned home from a few days in Blackpool. My visit to the Tower ballroom was even better than I expected. My last visit was 50 years ago when Reginald Dixon was playing and I thought he was fabulous. I enjoyed Phil Kelsall and Chris Hopkins just as much. Phil was as brilliant as I knew he would be and the videos on this site have done him justice. Chris Hopkins was superb and the Wersi was much better in the flesh than on the videos. Many thanks to Phil & Chris for a great time.

Phil plays at the Tower five days a week from the end of May until mid October. You can log onto the Blackpool Tower official website and follow links to the ballroom organ schedule page, where details of organist playing times are posted a month at a time.

would like to see Phil live at the tower ballroom during the Illuminations. Can anyone tell me where I can get the dates for his appearances.

A lovely Quickstep. I suppose he's had 33 years of practice lol and hopefuly will be there for many more years. Cheers Blackpool35 xx

Effortless brilliance... makes the art of mastering the organ, and the maestro-like, symphonic strains of strict-tempo and more, look so ludicrously easy...

Infuriating isn't it?

Just kidding...

Seriously though, Phil is without doubt one of the very best! Cheers for the upload blackpool35, you're providing me, and I can think of a good few others, with a priceless service. Please keep up the wonderful work!

Cheers.
