After Michael last performed for us 22nd November 2022 the Club was pleased to welcome him back for our 23rd July 2024 concert. Disappointingly fewer of our members attended than expected, perhaps reflecting the summer holiday season now with us. For the concert the instrument brought was his smaller Roland AT-15. Size didn’t matter?? The AT-15 was loaded with sounds from his larger Atelier organ and with it he performed to great effect. An excellent well applauded concert with medleys of many genres including some captivating pipe organ sounds punctuated with moments of humour.

Concert review 21st May 2018 – Michael Wooldridge
Artiste’s instrument – Customised 3 tier bespoke Rolland Atelier with a Paramount Virtual pipe organ provided via his laptop.
Although not a large audience to greet Michael he did provide an evening of solid musical entertainment enjoyed by most. Amongst the music we heard were:- Get Happy, the wind beneath my wings, A medley of Wurlitzer theatre organ music, a medley of the UK’s ‘successful’ Eurovision wins. (We had just had the 2018 event on TV) followed by yet more medleys from Gershwin, Latin America, Jazz.
After the interval we returned to 76 Trombones, and more well filled medleys from Flanagan and Allen, a classical collection, Abba (to which many sang along too) a collection of Tommy Steele hits, concluding with a medley of Glen Miller Big band sounds. In all the music we listened to was an accomplished performance it could though have been better appreciated by a larger audience to help create atmosphere.
