Next Concert

Thursday 16 January 2025

Performing for the Club’s first concert of 2025 is multi-talented MICHAEL WOOLDRIDGE from Littlehampton in West Sussex.  Michael is skilled with theatre, electronic and classical organs , piano and keyboard.  He loves all kinds of music so is capable of satisfying most musical preferences.
He was often heard on BBC Radio 2’s long-running programme, The Organist Entertains, and amongst many varied and interesting engagements he has performed at the Odeon, Leicester Square for a couple of film premieres, one in the presence of HRH Prince Charles (as he was then) and appeared in a sell-out concert at Bournemouth’s Pavilion Theatre with the world-renowned Mantovani Orchestra.
Outside of the UK, Michael has played theatre organ concerts in Holland, Germany, Switzerland and Australia and, in bands, has worked in Ireland and Dubai.  He has even mastered the art of accompanying silent films and has topped the bill accompanying the annual International Silent Film Festival held in Berlin.
He very much enjoys leading small bands and orchestras, providing jazz nights and also playing in theatres, where he has produced and directed countless musicals, touring shows, summer seasons and pantomimes.  He has worked with many of the television stars he grew up with, including Syd Little, Don Maclean, Stu Francis, Jimmy Cricket, Bobby Crush, Dana and stars of the Black and White Minstrel Show.  He has also  worked in cabaret with magician, Paul Daniels, and his talented son, Martin Daniels.
When not on tour, Michael is happy to share his experience in bringing out the best in others through teaching.  He is Principal Tutor to the Rye Wurlitzer Academy and also runs music festivals, which he describes as the ultimate in hobby holidays.
