This video compilation is from 1992 and is the Great Dorset Steam Fair at Tarrant Hinton. First off is a 52 key J. Verbeeck street organ, second organ is the now not seen in public 92 key Mortier owned by Jean Watts. I believe the organ is never taken out of the yard now which is a huge shame. The next organ was owned at the time by Willhelm Kelders, way before the Locomotion and Victory was even a glimmer in their builders eyes. Its a 73 Key Limonaire and played very well, if you play the right book, hint hint!!.

  • Who owned/owns the verbeeck Graham?

  • Eddy

    I cant think of the guys name but if you have an older GDSF prog he was last there in 2003, he was along the old organ alley with Dawn of the Century and myself when i was tucked in with Roger and the Mortier. I think he comes from Gloucester.Look for a Verbeeck with a front made up of old Gavioli bits, yeh right???.

    Graham

  • The first song is a "Mary Poppins"-Collection, if I am right...

  • your right, it is a very very long Mary Poppins selection, hence i had to edit it right down.

  • @draaiorgelverhuur Len Cullimore of Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, here in England. (I live in Gloucestershire as well) I believe he still owns it but suffers from ill health so it is rarely travelled nowadays.

  • @harlechnorthwales Do you know who arranged it?

  • @DerOrgelfan Do you know who arranged it?

  • @leach55 its a very out of date Mary Poppisn selection too!

  • @ceredigio Yes its still owned by the Cullimore family. Len sadly had a stroke only recently so i believe it comes out rarely nowadays. Sad really because its a good sounding instrument.

  • @leach55 When I last saw the 52-key Verbeeck in this vid (at Dorset 1996 when I was 10!!) it was owned by Len Cullimore of Wotton under Edge, Gloucestershire. Does he still own it nowadays or does someone else, and is it indeed still rallied? It was originally built in 1985, and as Graham says the front was made by the owners from old Gavioli parts!

  • oh dear I am now crying..typical with feed the birds. Touching or wot!

  • Neptunus is playing songs from the English 1930s performer George Formby. The first song is "With My Little Ukelele in My Hand" and the next song is "Chinese Laundry Blues", third song is "Hindoo Man" - you can find the originals in YouTube quite easily.

  • I would love to know what "Neptunus" is playing.
