Byron Jones
The "Welsh Wizard" |
||||
| The Welsh Wizard is one of the most popular international, returning organists to the Riviera. 2010 marks his twelfth year of concerts on the Riviera’s own, original Mighty WurliTzer. September 2006 saw the release of one of his favorite DVDs and Albums, ‘Riviera Magic’, recorded in 2005. Sales of this popular recording have taken the fame of the Riviera WurliTzer worldwide, from Europe to Australia and New Zealand, as well as Stateswide. Byron always considers his audiences as good friends and, with so many close friends living in Western New York, he looks forward to this annual treat as much as everyone else. The ‘Welsh Wizard’ is as much at home with electronic organs as the Mighty WurliTzer and Classical Church Organs. He tours Britain and hosts Organ Holidays and Festivals with his prized Wersi organ and is always in demand for concerts at charitable events as well as numerous club venues for fellow enthusiasts. As the proud owner of two pipe organs, there is very little that Byron does not know about the nuances and intricacies of great organs. His home organ, a WurliTzer 2/6, originating from Hollywood Theatre, Gowanda, had been lovingly restored by early members of RTOPS, the late Harry Marciniak and his wife Norma before being shipped to England in 2003. Byron’s renowned 1927 Compton Organ is now, also, beautifully restored in a Bristol, UK, church hall close to his home. Back to Concert Program - CLICK HERE |
