Part three of my Blackpool Illuminations videos,filmed during the final week in November 2012.
This time the fairground music comes from Bleadon Steam Fair 1990.
Recorded by me on a Sony Walkman Professional WM-D6C Cassette Recorder.
Harry Porter posted this :
The organ heard here is a 91 key Mortier Dance Organ called 'Neptunus', built in Belgium around 1912 and lives in Oxfordshire, it is so called because its frontage has lots of carvings of Neptune, mermaids, fish etc, sadly it doesn't travel anymore which is a real shame because it is a really lovely instrument with a unique sound! The arrangement of 'Nelly The Elephant' is by the late Steve Clarke, an arranger of music for these organs who also lived in Oxfordshire.
