Ernie woke up in the the year 1932 and found himself in the Stockport Plaza, a cineplex showcasing the news, films, shows and of course the Wurlitzer.


With his Kodak brownie in hand, the follow images were taken...

Nice stuff Rebel. Some luvverly old style shizz to see there. I also like the shot of Ernie lying on the ground :thumb

Being a blackbelt at playing the organ, the only choon worth playing would be "Oh I do like to be beside the seaside" of course.

God knows what he was playing but it wasn't bad for a wurlitzer. It's not Ernie btw Box :lol: Looks like him from a distance though.

I was told Ernie loves playing with his Organ :)

Love those crazy colors, and the love seats certainly take me back to the old back row shenanigans :lol:

Nice to see this gem :thumb

Just for info the organ is a Compton. They were built in UK.
