[edit]

Designed by Robert Cromie, who also renovated thePrince of Wales Theatre,[1]in theArt Decostyle, it opened in 1932 as theGaumont Palace,with a seating capacity of nearly 3,500 people, being renamed the Hammersmith Odeon in 1962. It has had a string of names and owners, most recentlyAEG LiveandEventim UK.[3][4]It became a Grade IIlisted buildingin 1990.

In 2002, the venue was again renamed, this time toCarling ApolloafterCarlingbrewery struck a deal with the owners, US-basedClear ChannelEntertainment, nowIHeartMedia.The event was marked by rock bandAC/DCplaying a one-off concert. All 5,000 tickets sold out in 4 minutes. In 2003, the stalls seats were made removable and now some concerts have full seating whilst others have standing-only in the stalls. In the latter format, the venue can accommodate around 5,000 people. The venue's listing was upgraded to Grade II* status in 2005. In 2006, the venue reverted to its former name, the Hammersmith Apollo. In 2007, the original 1932 Compton pipe organ, still present from the building's days as a cinema, was restored. The building was then bought by the MAMA Group.

On 14 January 2009, a placing announcement byHMV Grouprevealed that by selling additional shares, the company would raise money to fund a joint venture with the MAMA Group, to run eleven live music venues across the United Kingdom, including the Hammersmith Apollo. As a result, the venue was namedHMV Apollofrom 2009 until 2012. Other venues purchased include The Forum in London's Kentish Town, the Birmingham Institute and Aberdeen's Moshulu.[5]The venue was sold by HMV Group in May 2012 toAEG LiveandCTS Eventim.[6]In 2013, the venue was closed for an extensive refurbishment which was carried out by architect Foster Wilson.[7]The venue reopened as theEventim Apolloon 7 September 2013, with a concert performance bySelena Gomez.[1][8]

The Compton pipe organ

[edit]
Restored organ console, 2007

The original 1932Comptonpipe organremains installed at the Apollo and was fully restored to playing condition in 2007.[9]It has a four-manual console which rises through the stage on a new lift and about 1,200 organ pipes housed in large chambers above the front stalls ceiling. Having fallen into disrepair, the organ was disconnected in the 1990s and the console removed from the building. At the insistence ofEnglish Heritageand the local council, however, it was reinstated and the entire organ restored. At a launch party, on 25 July 2007, an invited audience and media representatives witnessed a recital by Richard Hills.[10]
