Stilton Concerts move to YaxleyStarting in July, the concerts previously held at the STILTON Pavilion south of Peterborough will be moving to an exciting new venue, The Royal British Legion Club (RBL) in the neighbouring village of YAXLEY.
Although concerts at Stilton have been taking place for over seven years, the venue has become unsuitable for many reasons, one being the lack of suitable parking and other essential facilities. The Yaxley RBL offers plentiful parking (no grass!), a stage, licensed bar, tea/coffee and good disabled access.
Access by road is easy with the venue being only a few minutes from the A1M motorway/A15.
Please note the slightly earlier start time of 2pm with doors opening at 1.30pm.
The full address is Yaxley Royal British Legion, 210 Broadway, YAXLEY, Peterborough, PE7 3NR.
The planned 2026 programme of artistes remains unchanged, with concerts still held on the FIRST SUNDAY of the month.
Chris and Jo Powell and their Music4You team very much look forward to seeing you all at this superb new venue on Sunday 5th JULY 2026 with the fantastic Mark THOMPSON in concert!
Admission remains at £10 and this includes tea or coffee at the interval… and yes there will still be the raffle!
For more information about Yaxley Music4You, contact Jo or Chris on 07877 481 424. Please leave a message and we’ll get back to you asap.
Keeping music live... with your support.
We are sad to report that Horsham MelodyTimes Concerts has just had their last concert, bringing to an end over 45 years of 'our kind of music' in the town. Sadly, post-pandemic, numbers attending never recovered sufficiently to a level which was viable, so despite best efforts to encourage attendance and under-writing the losses for quite a time, it has become impossible to continue.
It is hoped that former attendees will find their way to enjoy the warm welcome at either Crawley Keyboard Club or Bognor Regis MelodyTimes.
Michael Holmes Available For ConcertsWe are delighted that organist Michael Holmes has decided to upgrade to an Advanced players listing here on OrganFax.
Well established in theatre organ, classical organ and electronic organ circles, especially in the Manchester area, Michael is available for bookings, which, on electronic organ, would generally be played on his Roland AT350C.

In Memoriam - Nigel Ogden We are deeply saddened to report that Nigel Ogden, renowned organist and presenter of BBC Radio 2's popular series 'The Organist Entertains' for over 38 years, passed away suddenly on the morning of Tuesday 27th January 2026, aged 71.
Aside of keeping the flag flying for 'our kind of music' for so many years on the BBC, Nigel was probably best known for his superb concert performances on both theatre and classical organs, though it should also be remembered what a fine player he was on electronic organs, with time spent working in retail and wholesale.
Nigel's ever supportive presence and expertise will be much missed. We send our sincere condolences to his partner, family and friends.
Unfortuntaely the wonderful Wurlitzer at Stockport Town Hall is currently out of commission following water damage, so all concerts there have been suspended until 2026.
The Start of a New Era for Robert Davies
The end of one era. The start of a new one!
After working with Brian Price of BOHM Organ Studios, Nottingham, since 1988 and having had a break from the concert scene due to Covid, a new and exciting time has begun for Robert, who is now touring with Yamaha Genos and bass pedals.
As a regular festival performer in previous years, at such popular events as Caister, Barton Hall, Blackpool and Lyme Bay, and at numerous clubs and societies up and down the country playing BOHM organs, he has put together a new and varied concert programme featuring music from great musicals, light classics, ballads and stirring marches, along with music from the 60's and 70's, all now performed on Yamaha Genos. The concerts he has already performed with the Genos have all received outstanding reviews.
