I have memories of the Cornwall Young Farmers club’s Christmas dinner and dance in the 1960s. The Hall still had the pillars either side. Truro Fatstock shows. Brenda Wootton concert in the 1970s.

I was a member of a 5 piece band who played on a Rock competition in 1967. In the same competition was Roger Taylor (Queen). I think he went on to do rather better than we did…

My memory is of Bert Biscoe taking me up to the Council Chamber and proudly showing me my great, great, great grandfather’s election address to the ‘People of Truro’ which he had hung on the wall.

Putting my back out getting into a onesie backstage and face-planting in the Stage Right Wing. I lay there rigid for an hour before being carried into the orchestra pit and playing a show in said onesie. I had to stay in the onesie for 3 days.

Mrs Proctor – “Mr Biscoe, I’ve lost my council tax bill – you must find it else I’ll end up under the Town clock and then I’ll be for it!”

Saw my first theatre at the Hall – Footsbarn in ‘Giant’. I was a very small boy and was transfixed and transported. I can still see the Giant 50 something years later in my minds eye and remember how much I laughed.
