Hi all, Here is a link to a video clip of Wonderland filmed by me at Belvoir Steam Festival 2008 on 18th May: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gUN1JV63aU I hope you all enjoy it, Ben :D

Gosh, thanks for posting that clip of 'Wonderland' Ben - I haven't heard that organ for about thirty years, not since it used to feature at the annual traction engine rallies that used to be staged outside the old Birmingham Museum of Science and Industry. The organ was always a favourite of mine and I think that the video clip will give others a good idea why. A truly magnificent sight - and sound! Peter Jordan

Thinking more about 'Wonderland' I wonder if the owner could be persuaded to produce a CD or DVD of the instrument? I would certainly buy one. Peter Jordan

Hello everyone, Ben, the tune played on your vid of Alan Cauldwells organ is called 'Things'. It was a hit in the late 60s or early 70s. Rob.

I would have said that 'Things' was a hit in the early 60's - recorded by Bobby Darin, I seem to recall. Peter Jordan

I've just had a look at a Bobby Darin website. 'Things' was a hit for him in July 1962. Peter Jordan

Hi Samuel, Wonderland so far this year has attend Belvoir Castle Steam Festival which was there for the 1st time.

Thanks, Eddy, some good clips but the clip of the Lekkerkerker 'has been withdrawn by the user' so You Tube tells me. Does anyone know if any CDs of 'The Arab' are available? Peter

Hey Peter, Here is the new link to the Lekkerkerker video.. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7g1_QljmB4w They have just released a new CD of 'The Arabier' now the restoration is complete... and Pieter van Aken has also repainted the front which now looks more beautiful than ever. I am sure there is a way you can get the new CD over the internet. Cheers, Eddy.
