ST PETE LITTLE THEATRE FREE
Pat was friends with the hairdressers Rogeau and Johns and they did the hair for the actors, and so Pat went along with them to the shows with the free tickets the actors gave them. A particular one was the concert to raise money for the Bangladesh flood victims where plenty of bands came over from the UK.īrian remembered arriving in Guernsey and looking around, and he said "it was fantastic!" Unfortunately the theatre burnt down a few weeks later before he could watch an actual show. Pete remembered some of the great rock concerts that were performed there. The song she best remembered from the theatre was My Grandfather's Clock.

Tessa had fond memories of the Little Theatre. She wondered if this a house? But either way, she thought it shouldn't be on such a place! She also said that when she arrived in Guernsey on the boat last year, she noticed what looked like a huge glass box on the site of the Little Theatre. Sue remembers performing in the Eistedfodd in the 1950s at the Little Theatre. It was very sad to se this lovely old building go up in smoke and I hope something creative is done to the site. Within 10 minutes the whole roof was ablaze and the flat I was in heated up quite alarmingly due to the ferocity of the blaze. I quickly called the fire brigade although they had already been alerted to it. the sound was the wooden roof timbers cracking. I got up and looked out of my bedroom window to see flames licking the apex on the Eastern side of the theatre. I remember being woken in the early hours of (I think) Feb '84 to what sounded like mini explosions. My mother had the garden flat above the Little Theatre back in the '80s, next to the Salvation Army building. Also saw bands there like Edison Lighthouse. It was a great place to play hiding seek.
