Fancy an afternoon of dancing to a real Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ? Join us on Sunday 2nd August for a Ballroom & Sequence Dancing Afternoon featuring Phil Kelsall, principal organist at the Tower Ballroom Blackpool,
playing the mighty Saltaire Wurlitzer.
As a bonus your ticket includes a complimentary Ballroom & Latin taster class, with professional dance instructors from Rise Dance and Fitness Studio, running from 11:45 to 12:45 in the main hall – a great way to warm up or pick up a few new steps before the dance itself, whatever your standard may be.
Doors open for dancing at 1pm, with dancing from 1:30 to 2:30, a short interval, then more dancing from 3 to 4.
It’s a lovely way to spend a Sunday with live organ music, refreshments available, a beautiful venue, and good company.
Saltaire railway station is three minutes walk, level access from Lockwood Street (via a lift) – all are welcome whether dancing or just listening!
Tickets (on the door) £11.50.

Walt Strony
Walt Strony is one of America’s most celebrated concert organists, and we are delighted to welcome him across the Atlantic for our July concert at the Victoria Hall, Saltaire on Sunday 12th July at 2.30pm. Born in Chicago in 1955, he began music lessons at the age of seven and made his public debut in 1974 at just eighteen. Over fifty years on, he shows absolutely no sign of stopping.
His training placed him in rare company. His theatre organ teacher was Al Melgard, the legendary Staff Organist at the Chicago Stadium, who had himself played for the silent films of the 1920s. That direct line of musical heritage runs through everything Walt plays, giving his performances a depth and authenticity that is increasingly hard to find.
He has performed hundreds of concerts across the United States and internationally, including two appearances at Radio City Music Hall in New York and twice on the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia, the largest fully operational pipe organ in the world. The American Theatre Organ Society has twice named him Organist of the Year, in 1991 and 1993, making him the only living organist to have received that honour more than once. He is also a member of the ATOS Hall of Fame.
Concerts of this calibre do not come to Saltaire every day. If you have been thinking about coming along, this is the one not to miss, as it will be an outstanding musical event!
As usual, refreshments will be available for a donation, plus displays and pre-owned recordings, and an opportunity to go below stage, to see the chambers containing nearly 1000 pipes and percussions. There is level access from Lockwood Street via a lift and Saltaire railway station is only a few minutes’ walk from the hall.
