Pop-music, classical music, stand-up comedy and other varied types of performances – these have all been performed here. The concert hall was opened in 1927. Sitting for a show here will take you back decades. The décor is very classical. The service is prompt. The acoustics are fantastic. A major draw is the 1927 Harrison and Harrison Concert Organ. It’s unusual in the fact that even though it has touches of disrepair, it’s never been modified or changed up. Many famous band have played here – Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Slade, Lindisfarne and Motorhead.
