About Cardigan and District Organ and Keyboard Club

C.A.D.O.C. was founded early in1984 by a small band of enthusiasts and has prospered thanks to a very active Committee and Secetary.

Our first organ was a Lowrey Holiday, followed about seven years ago by a Yamaha MC 600. Now, thanks to the hard work of our Secretary and a Grant from the Arts Council of Wales (Lottery Unit) we have a Technics GA3 and two Yamaha MS 60s speakers. This Club organ is used for practice sessions on the Friday prior to our monthly Club afternoon meetings (held on first Friday in the month) when player members are encouraged to play to their varying abilities. These practice sessions are from 9.00 am to 2.00 pm and are by PRIOR ARRANGEMENT with the Chairman or Secretary. This is also an enjoyable social event.

Ten monthly concerts played by professional organists are arranged each year.

To celebrate the Arts Council for Wales Grant and 'christen' the new organ, a publicity concert was held at the local Theatre Mwldan, Cardigan, featuring Andrew Nix and attended by two former Cardigan Town Mayors, also the Chairmen and their Ladies from Pembrokeshire Organ Society and Llanelli Electronic Organ Society. All profits from this event were donated to the Cardigan Cancer Care Unit.

The club usually meets on the 1st Friday of the month for Club afternoon at 2.15pm and 3rd Friday of the month for concerts at 7.30pm
