Is this just done in the UK or worldwide? ......


There are a number of weekend festivals in the UK & Europe, although I believe the UK is the only one that has week long festivals. All festivals feature Arrangers as well as organs. (Many a new Arranger has been showcased at the various festivals)

The Okey Festival is a German festival and the link is to the Okey Festival Facebook pages. All previous festivals have usually featured the younger players in a competition format, but for some reason not this time. (There are a lot of younger players playing arrangers and organs as well as playing modern music in Europe, however it’s mainly the oldies that play them in the US & UK)
