Hot Pipes is arguably *the* best Theatre and Cinema Organ Podcast around. The programme is interesting, educational, and above all musical. Steve Ashley knows and loves his subject, loves good music, and has never failed to entertain in the years that we have been listening to, and supporting, the Show. His music library extends to several tens of thousands of tracks, including CD's, vinyl records, shellac records and tapes, both commercially produced and privately recorded. More music is being added to the library constantly, and it is a valuable historical record of the genre.
The three different Hot Pipes Podcasts include one hour Shows, published online only, half-hour radio broadcasts, and a small, but important, collection of Special Shows. All three Podcasts are different in format and content, so do be sure to check out and subscribe to, each podcast.
All three Podcasts are available via iTunes and through the hotpipes.eu website, where even more piping hot goodness can be found.
Subscribe to the podcasts, and you'll not regret it. Even better, support the Project, and your help will contribute to increasing and perpetuating a valuable archive which will be enjoyed by others now, and the generations to come.
Always a pleasure
Just catching up and enjoying a few shows I missed. Each one is pleasure.
