I know this is more about live entertainment that film, but it may be of interest to some.
In 2013, Leicester's De Montfort Hall celebrates its centenary. As part of his work, my bloke has the task of gathering together and cataloguing the hall's archives with a view to an exhibition and possibly a book. To that end, He's looking to document people's memories of shows and events, and wants people to tell him - verbally or in writing - of their first memory of or most memorable event at the hall. Did you take part in a show? Did you meet anyone special? Did you sneak in to a show (don't worry, we won't tell them)? Do you have any photos, programmes, tickets - or even recordings - that you could share? He's also keen to interview people in order to create an audio record for the archive.
The invitation isn't just open to customers. Agents, artistes and staff past and present are all welcome to contribute, and he'd like bad memories as well as good ones.
If you (or someone you know) would like to contribute, then my bloke can be contacted at
archive@demontforthall.co.uk .
Many thanks
