Monday 5^th December

Nottingham Organ Society presents

Brent Wells

good luck for Brett turned up in the guise of WERSI UK Ltd.  Roy Scott is now the managing director of WERSI UK..Ltd.   He is an ambitious man who wants, just like Brett, to see Wersi at the top where it belongs. Brett is now doing freelance work for Roy who has given Brett the opportunity to build on his ever growing career and I’m sure Wersi will continue to grow with this sort of combination.

Over the years Brett has gained many true great friends in and around the music business, far too many to mention, but two very special friends have given Brett the opportunity to carry on and try to achieve the goal that Brett has worked so hard for all these years. Richard & Shirley Collis bought Brett, no strings attached, his very own white Wersi Scala with matching speakers, the queen of the brand new ‘Open Art System’ range of organs and keyboards just released by Wersi. This generous gesture was made to Brett by Richard and Shirley purely to say "thank you for the music". Even Brett (not usually caught for words) was reported by King Kenny to have been shaking with excitement for days after the offer was made.

This will be followed by two sets by the Orient House Ensemble featuring Atzmon�s blistering saxophones and clarinet, blending bebop with Middle Eastern and Balkan influences
