Tony Stace to play at 'Music for Woodhall'
“Music for Woodhall” provides monthly concerts covering a wide range of musical styles from light classics through to light music, ballads, big band and sometimes a bit of jazz. The concerts are given by some of the country’s top musicians. Our November concert on Friday, November 7 will feature the very popular Tony Stace.
Tony started playing the organ when he was nine - his father owned a T500 Hammond which was his pride and joy.
Tony started to show an interest in music and Dad agreed to teach him. Within a year he had arranged private tuition with his first teacher Ray Fox. Tony soon started entering competitions; his first was a Yamaha Local Region Competition to be held at Teville Organs at Worthing.
Tony turned up and saw that one of the judges was Steve Lowdell. He played a 'Phantom of the Opera' selection and won it!
Tony says he gets asked frequently what he listens to when he is not playing and a lot of people are surprised when he says Klaus Wunderlich.
He says: “I do listen to other music but he has to be top of my list and always will be. I have performed in Switzerland 5 times now, played the Blackpool Wurlitzer three times, am performing over 50 shows a year and enjoy my job very much.”
