Recollections
AddBy: Picture Ipswich14th Oct 2025 1:17PM“As a young child I remember coming to the Old Town Hall for a musical theatre presentation of "Brigadoon" by one of the Ipswich Chorale groups. I was mesmerised by the "magic" of it all - the space, the costumes, the music - a very special experience.”

I have the QT [newspaper] cuttings of my name and certificates of winning art prizes. My primary school had their choir eisteddfods in the old gallery. Year 7 I sang "Heal her on the Hill" for our school concert. I have the programme still with my name written in it. I have a photograph of my school Tivoli State School when we won the Choir eisteddfod. My siblings are also in this photograph with Mrs Jones our teacher.”
