50th anniversary throwback
To start our journey down memory lane, we have been given some amazing photos from Fred Gardner who, with his band ‘OPPO’, performed at the opening of South Hill Park in October 1973. Fred told us, ‘For several years South Hill Park became our second home as we rehearsed, recorded and played there’.
Do you have a favourite memory of South Hill Park? Please send a photo and short description to anna.seymour@nullsouthhillpark.org.uk.
Please note, these will be shared on our social media channels in celebration of our 50th anniversary.
