Organ Fest at Milton Keynes Museum 10-11 October
By Kevin McElhone

The Annual Milton Keynes Organ Festival takes place on Saturday
10th and Sunday 11th October at Milton Keynes Museum, McConnell
Drive, Wolverton, Milton Keynes MK12 5EL, England.  See
http://www.mkmuseum.org.uk/  and
http://mkmuseum-events.weebly.com/organ-festival.html 

A large number of visiting fairground and street organs will attend
the festival, which will take place over two days, Saturday and Sunday,
10th and 11th 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 Street Barrel Piano, 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 inside the museum,
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.

Do let me know by 5 p.m. Friday evening if there is anything specific
you would like me to bring along for you.  And don't forget the Cotton
Museum Organ Day on 5th October.
