Remember?

NORMAN Wisdom has retired at the grand age of 90 years but, many years ago, he appeared at the Swindon Empire on the same bill as Frankie Howerd.

At around the same time we had some big names here and these included performers at the very popular Sunday night concerts at the Empire.

I have been told some of our good fortune was because of a fire at a Bristol theatre. Perhaps other readers can enlighten me but also add their memories about Norman and the other artistes.
