At its peak, Glasgow had over 23 fully working cinema organs. Now there is only one. For an entire generation the sound of the cinema was that of the cinema organ and if it wasn't for the team of volunteers at Pollokshaws Burgh Hall that sound would be lost forever. To understand their passion and their work is to see Glasgow's cinema heritage. Ian McNaught gives us a tour of the organ's home and how it has been incorporated into the entire building filling it with pipes, machinery and wonderful sounds. Gordon Cree demonstrates his organ playing skills and knowledge, describing how the organ works.
