So many of you enjoyed last week's lead article on Weymouth's old pier bandstand.
But in this celebration of such an iconic and much-missed landmark, it would appear as though we missed an important part of the pier bandstand's history.
Patricia Russell, nee Trevett, of Weymouth got in touch to tell us the following.
"I enjoyed your article about the old Pier Bandstand but there was no mention of the Roller Revellers, a group of very young skaters, which performed for about seven years in the 1950s. I was part of this from beginning to end. Bob Fox, still with us, was the manager.
"We held the highest attendance recorded for one of the summers.
"We skated to the music of all the bands, both military and show bands.
"There are a few of us around, all in our 80s.
"A lot of us attended the 'blowing up' of the bandstand and two of the lads were interviewed by your paper.
"Please put this right."
Always happy to Patricia.
Speaking of Bob Fox, it was a pleasure to hear from him.
At the age of 93, Mr Fox was keen to email us with his memories of the pier bandstand.
He said: "I was the manager there in the early 50s when it was at its most successful period. During that time up to 6,000 people would visit it every day during the summer to be entertained by leading orchestras and variety artistes and once a week by our own Weymouth Roller Skating Revue.
"During the summer, concerts were held every afternoon and early evening with dancing following at 8.30pm.
"Amongst the bands that played there were leading jazz celebrities of the era such as Harry Parry, then resident at the BBC Jazz Club, and Ralph Sharon, who went on to become musical director for Tony Bennett.
"One of the most successful was Harry Hudson’s Orchestra, then resident on one of the BBC’s top programmers, ‘which featured talent shows and audience participation, Have A Go. Top military bands were also very popular. Concerts were held every afternoon and evening, followed by dancing from 8.30 to 10.30, with Old Time dancing twice a week.
"Throughout the season these concerts included talent competitions, bathing beauty contests, and Weymouth's own roller skating revue, plus a leading variety act of the day. Who remembers Cowboy Cal McCord with his horse climbing the steps to the auditorium?
"Bathing Beauty competitions were held each Wednesday with the winner at the end of the season being crowned Miss Weymouth. As far as I remember admission price was 1/6p and season tickets were available for a couple of quid!
"Our staff at the time was just me, two attendants and two cashiers!
"It could be a bit dodgy when it rained as only about 800 seats were under cover. During the early 1950s the place was packed every afternoon and evening, but later on, as television began to take over in hotels, in later years it went downhill and became just another fun fair, before culmination in its demolition."
We'd love to see a picture of the Roller Revellers. If you have one, please get in touch.
