Reginald Dixon

Reginald Dixon was a legendary British theatre organist best known for his long-standing residency at the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool, England. Affectionately known as "Mr. Blackpool," Dixon became a household name thanks to his signature upbeat style and his mastery of the mighty Wurlitzer organ. His energetic performances and charismatic stage presence made him a favorite among dance hall audiences and radio listeners alike during the 1930s through the 1960s.

Dixon's association with the Tower Ballroom began in 1930 and spanned over three decades, during which he performed thousands of live shows. He brought a vibrant energy to the world of organ music, blending traditional tunes with contemporary flair and popular standards of the day. His recordings, including albums like Dixontime and The Magic Of Reginald Dixon, stand as enduring testaments to his artistry and influence in the genre of light entertainment and dance music.
