A Night of Remembering….

Thank you!

To the dozens of people who called into Bangor Drama Club’s cute Studio 1a on Bangor’s Hamilton Road on a beautiful late September night to hear excerpts from my podcast paired with wonderful archive clips from Northern Ireland Screen’s Digital Film Archive!

It’s fair to say that the Pickie Pool footage prompted the most memories, but there were others too.

Being out and about with the famous Annie Roycroft - editor for years of the “Co. Down Spectator”, what it was like to grow up working in a Ballyhome shop, the spectacle of Herbie hanging off the Bank of Ireland building in Main Street….and the amazing story of what is probably Bangor’s oldest graffiti.

And…an insight into recording and how you must never take things for granted!
