Photograph of Edwin Gates who opened the new Compton organ at the Carlton on opening night and remained as resident organist for several years. Blind from Meningitis as a baby aged 20 months old. At the age of 21 he was engaged as the Carlton organist from opening night for three years after which he moved to the Regal Dewsbury. Later engaged by ABC as guest organist for their cinemas. After the war Gates remodelled a Hammond electronic organ, with an elaborate console as seen in the picture above featuring his initials E & G in the design. With this organ he toured to many various venues.
