MelodyTimes Horsham
Sadly, after presenting over 45 years of great keyboard music in the Horsham area, we staged our last Horsham concert in June of
2026. Since the Covid-19 Pandemic, numbers attending never returned to a truly viable number, so, having subsidised events with
other funds for a while, without growth to cover costs, we had to take the decision to cease our lovely concerts.
We very much hope that our loyal supporters will now travel down to our Sunday afternoon concerts in our lovely venue in
Middleton-on-Sea, near Bognor Regis, or visit our friends at Crawley Keyboard Club see https://www.organfax.co.uk/clubs/crawley/

History
Horsham MelodyTimes was started out of the embers of the old Horsham Organ & Keyboard Society (HOKS), a group which had
prospered in the area for over 37 years. With the committee all feeling it was the time to step down, the club closed at the end of
2017. Organists Michael Wooldridge and Chris Stanbury had both enjoyed long associations with the Society and decided it would be
sad to let our kind of music disappear from the area, so in June 2018 they launched Horsham MelodyTimes Concerts, changing venue
from the previous HOKS venue to the Roffey Club, a venue they both liked from playing there for Sunday evening ballroom dances;
they both felt it had just the right warm atmosphere, plus free parking and a licensed bar, making it ideal for concert gatherings.
Since then they have been pleased to be able to bring some of the UK’s finest keyboard entertainers to the town and were thrilled to
have passed the reins over to local enthusiast Dave Braithwaite, but sadly, as of June 2026, the group has closed.
