The Rochford Compton
This site is dedicated to the organ and it's history. There is concert information and news on work and improvements.
There is also information on the Compton organ at the State Theatre Grays and news of the restoration now taking place of the Compton Electrone organ formerly in the Maida Vale Studios of the BBC. There are also details on how you can hire the famous Red Brick Barn for private functions with or without the organ.
The next Red Brick Barn concert season starts with Nick Martin in June 2010. The organ is closed until then for it's annual maintenance and improvement programme, the Barn however is still available for private functions.
Planned organ improvements include the addition of a Vox Humana and 32' Diaphone.
Check the Website regularily for news on work progress.
