It’s Hitchcock time at The Islington Proms this Thursday, 17th of September! I’ll be accompanying this classic film on the organ of St James’ church at 7.30pm. Do pop in to discover the Lodger’s secret..! trybooking.com/uk/event/1192…

Howdy! I’m accompanying ‘3 Bad Men’ (1926) on piano this Sunday at 3pm (19th July) at BFI Southbank. It’s a cracker of a film!

Ooh Betty!! Wed 28th January 7.30pm @CinemaMuseum Enjoy a double dollop of iconic British film babe, Betty Balfour, with a rare screening of two ‘lost’ films on 9.5mm & 16mm: CINDERS (1926) & DAUGHTER OF THE REGIMENT (1929) + Colin Sell & @ORGAN_ised cinemamuseum.org.uk/schedule…
If you’re at a loose end tomorrow night (30th Oct), have a think about coming to see Buster Keaton’s ‘The Haunted House’ and ‘The Cat and the Canary’ accompanied by me on piano and a church organ! They’re a hoot (and a bit scary for the 1920’s!) liveatstgiles.com/events/oct…
It was a pleasure to accompany ‘The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari’@TheLdnArchives with an original cue sheet last night! And to read about how people reacted to the film back in the day (with misspellings!) was fascinating! Do visit them - London history is awesome :)
It’s been awesome seeing Koko, Fitz & Max on screen so far - and I can’t wait to accompany SEVEN adventures in one sitting this Friday!!
🎞️Fleischer Toons @ Pordenone🎞️
How fancy! We’re being featured in one of the coolest silent film festivals in Italy!
It’s been such a thrill getting Koko & Max back on the big screen💞

Don’t hide under the covers tonight, come see ASPHALT (1929), one of the last big UFA silents, directed by Joe May. Feature intro’d by @best2vilmabanky + a fascinating first half with film historians Ted Botha & Deac Rossell. Live accompaniment by @ORGAN_ised & Colin Sell, 7.30pm
It’s not often I get to combine two great loves of my life - organ playing and beer (apart from @organoke of course) - but this was a treat! Double diamond beer advert filming on the organ with some jingle arrangements!

One of my dad’s favourite bands is 10CC and I grew up listening to lots of prog rock in the car. Can’t wait to tell him this!
The man who famously performs the lyrics “I don’t like cricket, I love it” has never been to a cricket match before.
Until today!

I know I’ll never look as stylish as Anna Lapwood does playing the Royal Albert Hall organ (I’m too embarrassed to tag her), but I’ve decided that hat-wearing during gigs deserves credit! Beware @organoke! And thanks to @36ReasonsSE5 and Jordanna for pic and page turning. 🎩
Having had a quick chance to watch through tonight’s film.. I knew this old car horn would come in useful one day! @kenbioscope #silentfilm
