Newcastle City Hall

Newcastle City Hall is a concert hall located in Newcastle upon Tyne, which has hosted many popular music and classical artists throughout the years, as well as standup and comedy acts. Opened in 1927, the City Hall was built as a part of a development which also included the adjacent City Pool.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=City Hall )〕 It has since become a venue for orchestras, rock and pop bands, and comedy acts, as well as for celebrity recitals, talks and civic functions.〔
==Organ==
In 1928, to create the city's first dedicated concert venue, a Harrison and Harrison organ was built.〔 A concert instrument, as opposed to a cathedral specification, it has been used for choral and orchestral concerts as well as organ recitals. It has 4,274 pipes, with a number of unique stops and has been described as "A Rolls-Royce" of organs.〔Liz Walker, "(Campaign aims to restore historic Newcastle organ )", ''The Journal'', 18 January 2010〕
The organ is currently in a poor state of repair, although as a result of its neglect, the instrument is probably the last and largest example of a Harrison tubular-pneumatic action (most other large organs were converted to electro-pneumatic action after World War II). The organ is also unusual in that it is unaltered, as most comparable organs have been modified, added-to or revoiced.〔(City Hall Organ campaign ), NDSO〕
The British Institute of Organ Studies awarded it a Grade 1 Historic Organ Certificate in 2003, and it is classified as part of the hall's Grade II status.〔(City Hall website )〕
