Product Description
CD Description
The popular music of street and fairground organs provided entertainment which attracted crowds quickly, and they are still associated with fun-fairs and fetes to this day. The smaller organs wer made to be pulled by hand, with the larger ones constructed on trailers or even built into lorries. The Gavioli Fairground Organ (pictured on the cover) was completely restored in 1979 and is a wonderful example of this type of organ. The De Leeuwin Dutch Street Organ was made in 1898 in Roosendaal, Holland.

Purchased for use at the annual village fete. Was more controllable than a live band and did the job well.

If you like fairground music I am sure you will like this nearly all the tunes are up-beat and it would be a great gift for anyone who can remember the fair organs from years gone by or if you used to visit steam fairs when you were younger it will bring it all back to you. I can almost smell the smoke from the steam engines........pass me the coal shovel.
