WATTON music fans have a chance to see Thursford Collection organist Robert Wolfe at the Queens Hall on Sunday, October 12.
As a 14-year old boy Wolfe visited the Thursford Collection and approached founder George Cushing to ask if he could play the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ.
It started a relationship between Robert and Thursford that has continued for over 30 years.
Before he took up the full-time post in Norfolk, Robert, at the age of 16, became the youngest person to join the team playing at the famous Tower Ballroom in Blackpool.
In 1981 John Cushing offered Robert the role as the solo regular, or resident organist, a first for both Thursford and Robert.
Robert is in concert at The Queens Hall on Sunday, October 12 at 2pm.
Tickets are available from Adcocks, High Street, Watton, and are priced at £7.50. Telephone 01953 881248.
