SHOW NEWS

8/09 Major changes to shows - see link


Hot Pipes!
Cinema/Theatre Organ music from around the world, with CD reviews, archive recordings, news and major concert information.
This show will continue as Internet-only.

Featuring current and historic artists from the USA, UK and Australia.

PLEASE NOTE: I had intended to make this show Internet-only, but the worldwide recession has, in effect, made that very difficult in 2009. Whereas we should have been comfortable on the earnings from our investments, thus enabling time to produce the show, the dramatic loss in value of all investments has meant that I must continue working for the foreseeable future. I will endeavour to restart the show in the early part of 2010.

Hot Pipes! shows are archived here.
