I remember the State Kilburn during the late 40’s and 50’s because for a short period of time my father Alexis was the resident organist! I can recall going with him to his rehearsals and was able on one occassion to visit the pipe chamber and being most impressed. As a young budding pianist I once had ‘a go’! But never took up music as a profession. I understand that the instrument is still there, but is it used for concerts, and if so when? I would like to revisit the scene of my childhood!
