Biography
Reginald Herbert Dixon was born in 1904 in Ecclesall, Sheffield, England. He began his musical development on the piano, where he won a gold medal at school, and served as a church organist by age fourteen. In 1930, he was appointed as the resident organist at Blackpoolâs Tower Ballroom, where he developed a signature "Blackpool Sound" on the venue's Wurlitzer organ. His popularity grew through regular radio broadcasts, which aired multiple times a week starting in the early 1930s. Over a career spanning several decades, he became a top-selling artist, and his work was preserved in collections such as The Very Best of Reginald Dixon from 2006, Rhapsody in Blue from 2006, and I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside from 2010. For his contributions to music, he was awarded an MBE in 1966. Dixon passed away in 1985.
