The Club was formed in 1987 by three people sharing a common interest in organ music.In the early days the Club held it's meetings in various local public houses. The founder of the Club, a local businessman David Parkin, would take along his own Elka portable for members to play.The Club became more popular locally, and members using their own instruments began to give charity concerts, raising vast sums of money for local and national charities.
It was during one such concert we came across our Social Night meeting venue and Belper's oldest building, St.John's Chapel (1250 AD),St Johns Road, Belper- now known as The Belper Heritage Centre.Over the years various fund raising events have enabled us to purchase a Yamaha EL70 for members' use. Other members also bring their own keyboards to our social nights.These are held fortnightly from 7pm to 10pm.The cost is £1 inc refreshments. (See diary for dates)
On the 3rd Saturday of each month at 7.30pm we present professional concerts, with the top names of the Organ & Keyboard world.These concerts take place at our other larger venue in town, The Congregational Church,Green Lane, Belper. Thanks to a dedicated team the church is transformed into a mini theatre with curtains, lighting, video projection and seating for 120 people.
