The Organist Entertains was a long-running music programme broadcast on BBC Radio 2.
The programme ran as a weekly feature on Radio 2 from 11 June 1969[1] and was originally presented by Robin Richmond, playing himself and introducing guest organists.
Early guests included Ena Baga (Odeon, Hammersmith), Doreen Chadwick (The Gaumont, Manchester), Harold Robinson Cleaver (Astra, Llandudno), William Davies (The Granada, Tooting), Douglas Reeve (The Dome, Brighton), Dudley Savage (ABC Plymouth) and Gerald Shaw (Odeon, Leicester Square).
On 12 November 1970, Robin Richmond introduced the newest BBC Theatre Organ, installed at The Playhouse Theatre, Manchester, with performances on the organ by Ernest Broadbent, Reginald Dixon and Reginald Porter Brown.
[3] In Ogden's absence, the programme was occasionally guest presented by Blackpool Tower organist Phil Kelsall.
