Horace Finch

On 14 December 1956 a fire almost destroyed the Blackpool Tower Ballroom and during this time, Reginald Dixon took up residency at the Empress whilst Horace was demoted to the Winter Gardens Pavilion on the Hammond Organ.

After the war, he took up his duties again at the Winter Gardens playing both organs installed there as well as deputising for Reginald Dixon at the Tower with fellow organist, Watson Holmes.
