WelcomeWelcome to the home of the North East Theatre Organ Association on the web! Here you will find the annual programme of events at the New Victoria Centre, press releases, contact information, a short history of the New Victoria Theatre, Bradford and its Wurlitzer, from their birth in 1930 to the present time, plus much more! For 38 years our Wurlitzer console rose from the depths of the orchestra pit in the New Victoria Theatre in Bradford to entertain patrons with musical interludes. Now installed in a specially converted building, the New Vic. organ plays once again, recreating the atmosphere of a different and more leisurely age. |
 Since the organ was first played in its present home in 1986,
many thousands of visitors have come along to enjoy the sights and
sounds of the 'Mighty' Wurlitzer in the hands of some of the finest
exponents of the instrument. Now extensively restored, with
the aid of a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, extra ranks of
original pipework have been added and other changes made to the
Wurlitzer to further enhance its versatility.
