  • Résumé

  • Geoff paints a vibrant picture of life in Sowerby Bridge during the 1950s and 1960s, including the wonderous range of shops available at the time; 3 tripe shops, a horse meat butcher and a shop of unlabelled tins of food - you had no idea what you were going to get!
    Geoff attended the first secondary school in the area, there had not been one like this before - Ryburn Secondary Modern. Here Geoff was introduced to folk and classical music as well as acting! Geoff performed Zadok The Priest by George Fredrick Handel with other schools from around West and South Yorkshire, at Sheffield Town Hall. Geoff's' music teacher had a fit as she looked around to see all the school children turning up in their uniforms and then came Geoff, rocking up in his Italian suit and African violet shirt - a sign of things to come!

    Geoff left school early and quickly became part of the local workforce, working at the Coop shop, then van deliveries, as well as a job painting lighthouses.

    Soon after this array of work experiences Geoff met some new neighbours - who seemed quirky to him at the time - as he got to know them he learnt they were performing artists and he was hooked.
