Andre Martin….Here is a face that we all recognise from the Pier Days – When I think back, I know at the time I did not always agree with him, but he had the Pier at heart, and worked very hard at keeping it alive, and part of the town.

Mick O’Dowd…..Such a gent was Bob. He helped me alot when I promoted the Pier. One of life’s true Gents.

Mick Mepham….Exactly as I remember him. Nice guy.

Brandon Knights…..WOW ! – I’ve just discovered this site. Thats my Grandpa! – I too work in the entertainment business, he was a huge inspiration to me. I miss him &  my father dearly.
