Affordable, unique entertainment for your event

*Real entertainment- It looks and sounds unbelievable!

*Value for money- Constant music and entertainment!

*Professional service- Get on and enjoy your big day

*Music people love- Traditional & modern, even Rihanna!

*Totally unique- One of a kind. The organ doesn't have any 'loud speakers' playing canned music. All music is performed live, a lit

tle like a woodwind band, however with no musicians. How can this be...

Some of these pipes sound like flutes and violins to add a tonal quality to the overall sound. To get the toes tapping, there is also a percussion section. All of the mechanism is powered by compressed air. The music is made out of a long strip of folded cardboard with holes in. Each hole signifies a note. A hole in the card is felt by a 'key' on the organ (there are 52 on this one, hence "52 Key Dutch Street Organ". This then opens a valve which begins a process of air being diverted though tubes and channels to get it to play the right note at the right time. The general public can view the air valves and card music through the back of the organ trailer. There is often a bigger crowd gathered around the back of the organ! Just so you don't worry...

The FIFA World Cup 2026 is almost here… ⚽🌍

So let’s get the terraces singing with a football favourite!

A tune that’s echoed around stadiums for decades, now with a mechanical music twist.

Turn it up and sing along!

A tune that never fails to stop people in their tracks.

Written in the 1980s by two German composers, Highland Cathedral has become one of the world's most recognisable bagpipe melodies. Today it's heard at rugby matches, weddings, ceremonies and celebrations across the globe.

Here's our mechanical organ playing this magnificent piece. 🎶

👤 Bee Gees
🎠 Played on a Dutch Street Organ

🕺 Fact: “Night Fever” spent 8 weeks at No.1 in the US and was the biggest-selling single of 1978.

This song has been covered by Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Eric Clapton and more. Probably most famous thanks to Nat King Cole in the 50s and Charlie Chaplin in the 30s? Can you name the tune?
