From Liverpool to the Midlands and to Deptford – where he worked in the 1980s at the Albany Empire – he made a positive impact on so many people.   Since 2007 he worked tirelessly at BLT sharing his skills, inspiring actors and other directors and spearheading the programme to raise funds so that BLT can have the renovation it so urgently needs.   Dave was held in high regard by people of all ages and has left a wonderful legacy to which future generations can aspire. Always helpful and positive, he loved chatting about Theatre, Music and most recently, health.   This picture here was kindly supplied by our regular photographer Robert Piwko and comes from a recent session when Robert was taking some headshots of Dave. According to Robert, as the session came to an end Dave remarked – with a characteristic twinkle in his eye – “That wasn’t too painful, you must have at least one decent shot!”   RIP Dave. We’re going to miss you, mate. This April we’re showering you with entertainment! First up, in the Main House: Whilst her husband Johnny is at work, Judy Martin lives her fantasy of being the dream 1950s housewife.

Don’t miss it!   12 – 20 April Then, our latest compelling Bar production: This emotional and absorbing play shows the lives of a mother and her two daughters as they attempt to cope with the effects of a lifetime of domestic violence.  Beautifully crafted and poignant, the play explores themes of love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit.  Winner of Best Play and Best Drama when it first showcased, this is not to be missed!   24 – 28 April (in the Bar) And another unmissable Bromley Blues Club presentation: Blues/rock outfit Big Wolf Band continue to go from strength to strength with two number 1 Amazon Chart bestselling albums in A Rebel’s Story and Be Free.

Book early!   Saturday 25th May at 7.30pm It’s 1942.  An off-duty weekend for three RAF aircrew and their wives in The Falcon Hotel is anything but relaxing when Patricia’s ex arrives to whisk her away from her husband just before a new bombing mission over Germany is ordered.     What will she do?  Who will survive the night?
