We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to help restore the OLDEST Wurlitzer theatre organ in UK, situated in the Congregational Church, Fore Street, Beer. East Devon. More details
Submitted by Michael Cull of Friends of BeerWurly – Deadline to sign up by: 23 October 2009 – Signatures: 54
This organ, originally purchased and installed at "The Picture House" Walsall in 1925, was the first Wurlitzer theatre organ to be imported into the UK. It is therefore a vital part of our musical heritage, and now deserves to be restored to its former glory as a performance instrument as well as being regularly maintained and serviced in order to keep it in pristine condition. The instrument is currently being featured in a series of fundraising concerts by professional theatre organ players. Eventually, when it is fully restored it will continue to entertain the public in this way for generations to come. More information can be obtained from any search engine with the words Beer Wurlitzer.
