Hi All, Graham here, Web-admin and ex-sound. I receive comments and memories fed back from our contact form, which unfortunately do not get shown due to the way the website software handles them. In looking for somewhere to invite those postings, and something about the individual, I was reminded of this Topic started by Keith, where he introduced himself.

“Welcome to old ghosts” seems the perfect title for such a collection and interaction, and there are something like 40-odd of you out there in the ether. Let’s see if any of you log-in and respond and see if it stays as the most recently/frequently updated topic for some while?

As for me… I became involved in 1977 after following an advert in the local free newspaper for a “Sound Engineer”. Having the interest, some of the technology, but nowhere to put it to good use The Grange seemed the perfect opportunity. My predecessor, Gordon, had to leave for his homeland in the US, but had already set a high bar of expectation.
Fast forward a few years and shows, and work commitments meant I sadly had to part company handing over the reigns to a young gent called Daniel (I wonder what he’s up to now?).
Keeping occasional contact with Keith, I somehow missed seeing Fred in his final months, but was grateful to catch some moments with a very calm Val towards the end of her days.
Those were great times… although we all put a lot of work and unsociable hours into supporting the events… and so it was only fitting that Keith, Jackie and I should try and preserve some memories of that work in this simple website for the benefit of all.

Best regards to all who stop by!
