About The Burtey Fen Collection
Organ concerts by top names of the organ world are a monthly feature. Guest organists include Nigel Ogden, Phil Kelsall, Robert Wolfe, Nicholas Martin, John Mann, Jean Martyn and Andrew Nix.
Private concerts can be arranged for group visits and coach parties - but these must be pre-booked by arrangement. Why not organise an outing for your group or society. Or arrange a surprise mystery or tour for your members!
The Compton and Wurlitzer cinema organs and the four manual classical organ are available for private practice sessions - A unique facility for the amateur or professional.
Beneath the balcony is a wall dedicated to the 1940s and the war years.
The music produced during this time gave the soldiers and their families back home a feeling of optimism. Remember titles such as 'They can't black out the moon', 'Wish me luck', 'Goodnight children, everywhere', 'Till the lights of London shine again', 'White cliffs of Dover' and 'We'll meet again'.
