Sunday 27 February 2005
 | Artistes appearing at the inaugural festival were Nicholas Martin, Jean Martyn and Brett Wales, who performed for an enthusiastic audience of 230.
Although there were a few 'teething problems', it was an enjoyable occasion with the artistes combining well together.
The popular vote was that the festival should be repeated the following year and, if again successful, should become an annual event.

Sunday 2 April 2006
 | The second festival, attended by 210 people, featured Glyn Madden, Chiho Sunamoto and Andrew Nix. A surprise guest performer was Jon Smith, who shared a couple of duets with Chiho.
The attendance was purposely reduced from the previous year, to allow more comfort, and the day proved to be a popular success.
The hotel was considered to be the ideal venue for the event and an annual repeat now seemed inevitable.

Sunday 1 April 2007
 | The third festival was staged, as before, at the Heathlands Hotel, Bournemouth, with a capacity audience of 200, comprising of enthusiasts from organ societies based in Hampshire and Dorset.
The event proved once more to be a resounding success, with top class entertainment provided by Tony Stace, Elizabeth Harrison and Chris Powell .... and with the helpful co-operation of the hotel staff.
Hopefully, this popular one-day event will now be repeated in March or April each year.

Sunday 13 April 2008
 | The fourth festival was staged, as in previous years, at the Heathlands Hotel, Bournemouth, with another capacity audience of 200, comprising of enthusiasts from organ societies based in Hampshire and Dorset.
A truly entertaining afternoon was enjoyed by all, thanks to the performances of DirkJan Ranzijn, Kevin Grunill and Sarah Foley.
