There’s something about live music that just can’t be replicated—especially when it comes from a master of the keys like Brett Wales. Last night, I had the pleasure of attending his performance at the Stockport Organ & Keyboard Club, and what an evening it was!
Brett, known for his flair and finesse, brought along his beautiful Wersi Sonic organ—a truly impressive instrument in both look and sound. The room was filled with eager fans, many of whom have followed his journey for years, and it didn’t take long for the atmosphere to warm up with excitement and nostalgia.
From the moment he hit the first note, Brett had the audience captivated. The range of tones from the Sonic was incredible—from classic theatre organ vibes to lush orchestral arrangements. He played a wonderful mix of genres: a bit of swing, a dash of pop, even some stirring cinematic themes that had us all nodding along or tapping our feet.
What really stood out, though, was how effortlessly Brett engaged with the audience. Between pieces, he shared stories and joked with the crowd, giving the night a personal, relaxed feel. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does—and that energy is infectious.
It was more than just a concert; it was an experience. The Stockport Organ & Keyboard Club once again proved to be a gem of a venue—cozy, welcoming, and full of character. It’s places like this that keep musical traditions alive and thriving.
As the evening wrapped up, there was a buzz in the room. Smiles, claps, and plenty of chatter about favorite tunes lingered long after the final chord. If you ever get a chance to see Brett Wales live, especially on that gorgeous Wersi Sonic, don’t think twice—you’ll be in for a musical treat.
