Review – Barry Morgan’s World of Organs

Oh the humble organ – who would have thought that a man stuck in a time warp with a 100% polyester Safari suit could have made it kind of cool? But somehow, Barry Morgan’s World of Organs makes me feel like bringing the old dusty organ out and trying Barry’s signature one-finger method for myself.

There’ll be times throughout Barry Morgan’s show where you will wonder if you have been transported into an informercial from the year 1979. The “must have” product on offer is the Hammond Aurora Classic organ, complete with a year’s membership to the Organ Lovers League of Australia and a free set of steak knives. And yes, there is a three part payment plan. For those who didn’t bring cash, you can visit Barry Morgan’s World of Organs in our city of churches!*

Barry Morgan doesn’t fail to deliver a show full of laughs, innuendo and cringe-worthy facial expressions for his “shoppers”. Barry’s passion and belief in himself means that the audience will inevitably love him, no matter how much they try to resist. Oh, Barry.

The awkwardly low lighting and large size of the venue does not reflect the warmth and intimacy that one might expect from Barry Morgan’s show, but again, the passion and enthusiasm of Barry Morgan is what makes this show a must-see.

So if you like what you hear and think that perhaps organs are misunderstood, then grab your tickets fast! And remember to tell them that Heckler sent you!

*sorry guys, the store is fictional. We know you were secretly hoping to rekindle your love for the organ.

Pro-tip: Barry Morgan will apparently accept any reasonable offer for his Hammond Aurora Classic, so make sure your haggling skills are up to speed.
