The Society’s Northern Wurlitzer was built in 1937 and installed that year in the Gaumont Cinema, Oldham. Since leaving there in 1961 it has had three homes before arriving at the fabulous grade 2 listed Victoria Hall, Saltaire. The opening concerts were in April 2009 and from the very first night the organ was declared a world-class instrument and one of the finest installations in the UK. Apart from concerts the Wurlitzer has entered the world of corporate events, ballroom dances, wedding receptions and civic function-and yes, it does rise up through the stage on a lift!
