Organist Stephen Austin makes a welcome return  to the Rex cinema this weekend.

Stephen plays the Elland concert on Sunday (September 15) at 2.30pm.

He began his musical career with piano lessons which led to him to learn to play the  classical organ.

When he left school, Stephen was appointed assistant to the Musical Director of the Hammond Organ Company and arranged concerts and promotions for the Hammond Organ Societies.

He later moved to their piano and organ showroom in London and became their first “in house” teacher.

In the early Seventies, Stephen moved to Blackpool and opened the Camera and Organ Centre in partnership with John Nunns.

They later decided to concentrate on tuition and formed S J Music Tuition which keeps Stephen busy with a full weekly schedule of piano, organ and keyboard students, including adult education classes.

A short film novelty will be included in Sunday’s programme. Tickets are £5.
