Christmas-season afternoon concert by organist and entertainer David Ivory on the theatre organ at the St Albans Organ Theatre.
David Ivory returns to the St Albans Organ Theatre on Saturday 12 December, playing the theatre organ for a Christmas-season afternoon concert. It's a return visit for Ivory, who's played here before, so if you've caught him in the room, you'll know the setup.
Ivory is an organist and entertainer who works across a few different traditions. He plays the theatre organ, the Compton Church and Cinema Organs, and fronts Wurlitzer shows on fairground organs. He's been playing organ and piano since he finished an apprenticeship as a pipe organ builder with Hill, Norman & Beard in 1977 — the same year he emigrated to Canada. From there, his playing took him into venues as varied as ice hockey stadia and circuses, and he's since become a popular East Anglian organist. This afternoon in St Albans is one of his Christmas-season dates.

The venue itself is on Camp Road, a musical museum and theatre that stages theatre-organ concerts and holds monthly public openings, so it's a place that keeps the instrument going as much as it hosts individual performances. The concert runs from 3pm to 5:30pm, with doors opening at 2:30pm, and tickets are £15.00. It's at the St Albans Organ Theatre, 320 Camp Road, St Albans AL1 5PE.
