I must say right at the start I'm not a lover of theatre organs or much of the music played on them, I came across this amazing organist (Mark Williams) whilst researching my EL90 that I had at the time. I have never seen such an animated organist, he is absolutely amazing, I cant stop listening to this and just marvel at his hands, I couldn't hit keys with that sort of accuracy. This organ isn't the top of the range either - an EL70.

Hi John,

Thanks for that. Here's another that I found a while ago. This is him doing an 'organ Quickstep'. As you say, he's just amazing!

Hi John,

I am not a big fan of theatre organs , but you have to give it to this guy , he can certainly play and you can tell from the video he puts his heart and soul into it
and considering what he is playing in regards to today`s modern instruments he does a fantastic job, wish I could play that well and with that much confidence

All the best, Brian007

The speed and accuracy of his hands absolutely amazes me. I have tried alternating between upper and lower manual and cant achieve either speed or accuracy, and thats without my other limbs doing anything!
Amazing musician.
