Brett was born on the 23rd of August 1978 in Nottingham, raised by his grandparents Marianne and Alwyn he still lives and works in the same house today. Alwyn played Elka 707 Organ, so at a very young age Brett was exposed to music. Alwyn found Brett aged three at the keys. He was encouraged, and soon displayed an uncanny ability to play melody lines from memory. Alwyn recognized his grandson's talent. Marianne and Alwyn continued encouraging Brett to play as a hobby. Brett's ability to hear and reproduce melodies accurately is a hallmark of his music today. This ability to listen, hear and then play, sections, phrases, and separate parts of a complete score has stayed with Brett to this day - the Blue Danube, Marriage of Figaro, and Bohemian Rhapsody played by him today being testament to the fact.

 Andrew was born and lives in Southsea, Hampshire with his wife Sue and two daughters.

His father Frank bought a very small Thomas Organ and later changed it for a Lowrey. It was at this point 13 year old Andrew started to take a keen interest in playing the Electronic Organ. In those early years Andrew did not want to take lessons and was quite content to sit at the Organ and teach himself.

Andrew says, "During this time I just wanted to do my own thing and I had no idea that one day I would become a full time Professional Musician." 

Although mainly self taught, Andrew did receive encouragement from his father, and from the late Theatre Organist Eric Lord who became a good friend of the family.

During the years that Jelani Eddington has given concerts, he has easily established himself as one of the most prominent and sought-after artists on the concert circuit. Jelani has performed in most of the major concert venues throughout the United States, has toured extensively abroad, and has received numerous awards and recognitions, including his selection as the 2001 Theatre Organist Of The Year.

 Alan Haven was born in Prestwich, Manchester in the UK. Although originally a pianist, he could see in those early days that the future lay in the use of new technology. In the 1960s the only 'hi-tech' keyboard was the electronic organ and Haven took this instrument and made it his own. Unlike many players who followed the Hammond sound, he was more concerned with developing his own sound and it didn't matter whether the instrument was a Lowrey (as it usually was in those days) or any other make or model, the Haven sound and style always emerged. Applying the organ to jazz is a dangerous sport; there are plenty of people out there ready to criticise. With the two Jimmys, Smith and McGriff, you'd have thought there wasn't a lot more to do, but nothing could have been further from the truth. Alan Haven created a style that set the sixties alight and never before had an audience witnessed the dynamics from an instrument most people associated with the end of the pier shows!

Robert Wolfe is recognised as one of the world's leading interpreters of the theatre organ. Acclaimed for his sheer artistry, renowned for his musicality, he is without question one of the top British organists.

At the early age of sixteen, he became the youngest musician at that time to join the team of organists at the world famous Tower Ballroom, Blackpool. After three years, in 1981, he was invited to inaugurate the Wurlitzer show at the Thursford Collection, near Fakenham in Norfolk.

This "sight and sound spectacular" has come to be known locally, nationally and internationally as "The Thursford Experience". From early spring to late autumn, seven days a week, Robert draws large crowds who delight in his warm personality and his unique musical combination of meticulous accuracy and interpretative sensitivity.

Don Thompson is one of the very few concert organists who can genuinely claim to be internationally known. He has appeared in over twenty countries in concert and vaudeville and on radio, television and recordings. He is also one of the handful who are equally at home playing the classics as well as theatre organ music.

Don's interest in the theatre organ began when he was very young, when he was taken to hear Reginald Dixon play at the famous Tower Ballroom. He immediately decided, at that tender age, that he wanted to be an organist also. He bought a piano when he was seven and began to teach himself the organ at his local church when he was about 15. He was appointed assistant organist at Kentmere Church
