The COS was deeply saddened to learn of the untimely death of long-time member and friend, Nigel Ogden, on 27th January.

Nigel was best known by the general public as the presenter of BBC Radio 2’s ‘The Organist Entertains’ from 1980 to 2018. He was also a highly accomplished and versatile organist whose performances on classical, theatre and electronic organs gave huge pleasure to audiences around the UK and overseas.

Nigel was a strong supporter of young organists, and of the work of theatre organ groups including the COS.

He will be greatly missed, but his music will live on through his many recordings.

A fuller appreciation will appear in a future edition of the COS Magazine

Four publications a year keeping you in the loop with information and articles for all aspects of Cinema Organ.

An extensive archive full of photos, audio and documents has been amassed over many years and is accessible to members to look at in the flesh and online.

We are a society and many friendships have been made through our common interest. Everyone is made welcome at every event and we always encourage new faces.

Workshops and tuition on the playing and maintenance of the instruments is provided by a number of experts both formally and informally.
