Lovely video from the changeover, the organist and the dancing. As a kid in the 60s and early 70s my parents always took me on holiday once a year during the school summer holidays. We alternated between Blackpool and Scarborough quite a bit but I always preferred Blackpool, lots to do and many shows to see at theatres. I remember going to the tower circus but I can't ever recall visiting the tower ballroom unfortunately, maybe we did, maybe we didn't, but I have no memory of it. I would have loved to have gone and even now, but I doubt I ever will now. Also, it's lovely to see pairs of guys dancing together here, one pair look very good.
Brilliant video Chris and Phil, full of interest and enjoyment. Joan and I watched it and were reminded of many happy hours in the Tower Ballroom. Michael Parkinson
Always great to hear those famous pipes kick in? I wonder does keith Ledson still look after this organs maintenance? Met him once and he said it was totally an honour to be associated with the instrument!
Nice 1 Chris / phil...I miss living in Blackpool and being able to just nip in the tower for a bit... Suppose sunny morecambe isn't far away though....you gonna let me have a blast on the wurly next time Chris 😁👍🤗
A great video Chris, loved the ride up on the lift. Can you please help name the tunes of the first set played by Phil Kelsall. from 3.28 min to 6.00 min WHAT TUNE IS THIS PLEASE and I have been told from 6.00 to 8.10 is called "Don't blame me" is this correct. Liked the filming of you playing Chris on the last few videos. It is great to see the mix of Roland and Wurlitzer.
Heya, Bravo! Very beautiful and beautiful music my friend. Thx. Best regards, Hannes 🎤✨🎤🎸

Probably the best footage I have seen of The Tower Ballroom. Excellent work and playing from Chris and Phil.
Excellent video Chris. Love the camera!

Excellent shots & film work in and around the Tower Ballroom Chris, especially with Phil coming up on the Wurly again! Very clever stuff mate.
Brilliant video, thank you for loading. A reminder of the many happy hours that Joan and I have spent there. Michael Parkinson
Great video, many thanks.

Transatlantic Lullaby
yes dont blame me is right
Really well made video, must have taken some doing, so well balanced.
Still Great.....................Where is Chris now ?
Chris is right here, having to teach driving to sustain a living, the pay rate at the Tower is a joke.
Is that the same organ that’s still there now ? Not the Wurlitzer the other one ?
@9:15 LOL!
cool!
Great
