Hailsham Hadlow Down Gerorge Street Pavilion Eastbourne cinema WednesdayMel Rhodes Norman Tasker Organ Club Sussex Art Deco

Not content with running a musical instrument business, we also managed to start up the Hadlow Down Organ Club in the 1980s. It did well, but as from January 2000, we moved it to the former restored Cinema known as the Pavilion in the centre of Hailsham, about ten miles north of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Although an expensive place for the club to hire, the beautiful Art Deco surroundings, the comfortable cinema seating and the excellent acoustics soon made it a very popular venue for the public and the artists alike. All the top names (and a lot of up-and-coming players too) have now performed there.
