The Annual Milton Keynes Organ Festival takes place this coming
weekend at Milton Keynes Museum, McConnell Drive, Wolverton,
Milton Keynes MK12 5EL, http://www.mkmuseum.org.uk/
A large number of visiting fairground and street organs will attend
the festival which will take place over two days on Saturday and Sunday,
8th and 9th October. The festival has a relaxed atmosphere, and is
a nostalgic and interesting, low cost event on a large site.
The Museum has a Victorian parlour with a player piano and disc musical
boxes which I have had repaired recently. There is a street re-creation
with many old shops, a cinema, etc., a transport hall, telephone, radio
and lawnmower sections. There is a nice cafe as well for a good day-out
with free parking.
I will be there for the two days with a sales stall so do come and say
hello. I will have some free copies of the Music Box magazine available
for anyone who might be interested in joining us or simply finding out
more.
