The Annual Milton Keynes Organ Festival takes place next weekend
at Milton Keynes Museum, McConnell Drive, Wolverton, Milton Keynes
MK12 5EL, England.  See 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, Saturday and Sunday,
13th and 14th October.  The festival has a relaxed atmosphere, and is
a nostalgic, interesting, low-cost event on a large site.

The museum has a Victorian parlour with a player piano and disc musical
boxes which have been 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.

And don't forget the Cotton Museum Organ Day this coming weekend.
