at the organ of the Granada, Welling,
Kent
During the winter the popular organist from the Tower Ballroom, Blackpool, tours the Bernstein Circuit, and broadcasts from time to time, to the delight of his many listeners, to whom the signature tune, ' I do like to be beside the seaside', brings something of a thrill. Born at Sheffield thirty-five years ago, Reginald Dixon began his career as Church organist at the Birley Carr parish church, near Sheffield, went to Chesterfield as a pianist, and on to Sheffield where he played, first the piano, and then the straight organ. He was solo organist for the first time in the Isle of Man.
But it was at the Tower Ballroom,
Blackpool, to which he went in 1930, that he made his name.
