TEA DANCE + WURLITZER
Advertisement
**Expect a lively, nostalgic tea dance straight out of the golden age of ballroom – like stepping into a time machine with a massive theatre organ providing the soundtrack.**
This is the **Music4You Mondays Tea Dance** (also promoted as “Dance to the Mighty Wurlitzer”) held **every 1st Monday** from **2pm–5pm** at The Musical Museum in Brentford.
### What you’ll experience:
- **Live music on the Mighty Wurlitzer** – the museum’s famous historic cinema pipe organ (the ex-Regal Kingston Wurlitzer). Organists **Chris Powell** and **Matthew Bason** (they alternate or sometimes appear together) play classic **strict-tempo ballroom and popular sequence dance tunes**. The powerful organ fills the hall and actually makes the sprung dance floor vibrate under your feet – it’s a unique, immersive sensation you won’t get from recorded music.
- **Dancing** – Ballroom and sequence dancing on a **professional sprung ballroom floor** (gentle on the knees and great for all ages/abilities). It’s social and welcoming: partners are **not required**, beginners are welcome, and the vibe is friendly and inclusive (often described as “Blackpool in Brentford”).
- **Relaxed tea-dance atmosphere** – Think classic British tea dance in a beautiful museum setting right by the River Thames. You can dance the whole time, sit and listen, or mix both. It’s social, cheerful, and designed to banish Monday blues.
- **Refreshments** – Your £8 ticket gets you access to **tea, coffee, sandwiches, cakes, and cold drinks** (served on site).
### Practical details:
- **Tickets**: £8 (buy on the door or via the museum’s website).
- **Location**: The Musical Museum, 399 High Street, Brentford, Middlesex TW8 0DU (easy bus access: 65, 237, 267 routes).
- **Who it’s for**: Anyone who loves ballroom/sequence dancing, organ music, or just wants a fun, low-pressure afternoon out. All ages and abilities mix happily.
In short: great music you can **feel**, easy dancing, lovely refreshments, and a warm, retro social scene in a unique museum venue. It’s one of those hidden gems that feels special every time. If you love classic dance or theatre organs, you’ll leave smiling! 🎹🕺💃
