I have some very sad news about Rocco; reaching a grand old age of 90 .... he passed away peacefully yesterday at his home surrounded by his family. His death comes just a few months after his lovely wife of 60 odd years passed away after a brief illness. Those of you who remember Rocco from this an...

Hiya Ken, I'm sorry to hear about your good lady's illness - I hope that she returns to full health very soon ..... I had a shot at recording this tune a few years back ... not sure it's good enough for your daughter's wedding but you are very welcome to use it if you can't get anything better 8) ht...
Wotcha John, I missed it - I had planned to take a gander but forgot all about it until it was too late - maybe next time. In the skies over Kent there are two 'geo-stationary' satellites that shine like 'diamonds' on a clear night - Im sure one of them is running out of steam cuz' I reckon it seems...
Hi Roy, Can you post a screenshot of what you get so I can look into it further for you ... this is easy to do using the 'Print Scrn' button (next to Scroll Lock) on your keyboard and then open 'Paint' and press the 'clip-board' button at the top left hand side of page - once the screenshot is visib...
It is with great sadness that I have to announce that Brian Sharp passed away earlier today after a battle with cancer. He was 78 years old. The funeral will be for family and close friends only and has yet to be arranged. http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab92/tiercedepicardiecouk/august/b3edd1e7-...
Alan Haven passed away on Thursday last - he had been suffering with cancer for over a year. I had the pleasure of working with Alan on many occasions in the past - he was a real gentleman and an extremely talented organist - he will be sorely missed by his family, many friends and fans - RIP Alan. ...
Hiya folks, Well with the exception of the three members who have sent their music uploads for this year's Christmas video ... the response so far has been dire - yet again! Time is running out, so if anyone else is thinking of participating ... please submit your material before November the 10th. ...
Wotcha folks, I would very much like to make an OKMF Christmas video this year to wish our visitors/guests a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year ... I envisage a 30 minute video featuring around 10 x 3 minute mp3's performed by playing members ... to start off with perhaps we should limit to one ...
Not one I can help on I'm afraid ... I don't really have any interest in 'theatre organs' and consequently, other than hearing of Carolyn Riddick, I know nothing about her or her career. A great many theatre organists at some point in their career 'crossover' into the world of electronic organs even...
The Roland E-A7 is an arranger keyboard with a massive amount of features combined with a nice simple layout. The vast array of lights, buttons and knobs may seem a little worrying at first. But funnily enough it actually makes it easier. Instead of looking through hundreds of menus to find the feat...
Roland introduces the E-A7 Expandable Arranger, a fully featured, versatile arranger keyboard for musicians needing professional-grade sounds and authentic backing styles. Weighing in at just under 18 pounds, this self-contained, powerful, yet compact 61-note keyboard dramatically reduces the amount...

Synthesizer manufacturer Korg has released a new keyboard themed around The Beatles. https://image.ibb.co/e6ezoa/Korg_Liverpool2015.jpg The instrument, which is named The Liverpool in reference to the band's hometown, comes with the backing tracks of 100 of the Fab Four's songs built-in and is also ...
That should be a great evening Brian :D I was a big Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger fan in the late 60's but over the years I sort of lost touch with what he was up to ... an awesome organist for sure. I remember Driscoll & Auger's take on 'light my fire' and 'let the sunshine in' ... I wore the ...
Hi Brian, You won't go wrong by having the Oberheim, their products are very good indeed .... an American company with it's manufacturing links with the Galantis (Viscount/GEM etc etc). As far as drawbar modules go they are all 'much of muchness' ... and when you get down to it, none of them really ...
Wotcha folks, As we are now getting more members posting their music via a youtube link could I please ask that you use the BBCode to ensure the video is embedded so it can be viewed without navigating away from the boards .... this also goes for other youtube links that you share on the boards. The...
I loved the way 'Farlowe' vanishes behind the amplifiers half way through ... probably for sit down a shot of 'glycerol' and a few puffs on a 'reliever inhaler'
Sounds like they still have what it takes though .... thanks for posting Brian
Hi Tony, Congratulations on getting your new Viscount - looks like a super piece of kit ... is it a PCM sound generated instrument or one that employs Viscount's physical modelling technology? Very real sounding either way I bet 8) Looking forward to hearing you give it some 'wellie' (assuming the n...
