As a young boy Alan Pell was fascinated by the steam fairground organs that accompanied the travelling showmen and their fairgrounds everywhere. With no books but only other old organs from which to learn how to make them, he set about building an organ of his own, and another and another.... so that today the whole family is involved in making these superb musical instruments.
Additional Information:
Alan has since retired from making fairground organs and now runs a mobile fish and chip shop from a converted iconic London Red Bus.
