The Tragedy of Hastings Pier

In Conversation with Finlay Carson MSP

Recently re-elected MSP Finlay Carson is Galloway's Gazetteer's first big-name interview. He discusses what brought him in to politics and why he is a Conservative. He explains why he believes there needs to be a pause in the development of on-shore windfarms and outlines his hopes for Galloway. And he recalls too when his mother heard he was planning to stand for the local council she told him he was a 'bloody idiot'. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Tragedy of Hastings Pier

The history of Hastings Pier is a chequered one. But no one could have anticipated the mess that it would become when it was triumphantly reopened a decade ago after a £14m rebuild following a devastating fire in October 2010. Today, at the height of summer it is devoid of visitors and only three businesses operate on the pier - it wasn't mean to be like this.

Improv at The Stables Theatre

It’s 18 months since The Stables Theatre here in Hastings got its own Improv group and it’s going from strength to strength with a pool of 18 participants and regular monthly shows coming to The Stables’ Gwen Watford performance space from the start of June. Tim Kendrick, Scott Kingsnorth and Aisling Teodorescu recently chatted to Stuart Baillie about the group, its inception and how improv works. It’s a great podcast with a lot of laughter. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

The other side of the microphone

Stuart Baillie was delighted when Terence Starr invited him to appear on the Business Buzz and Banter show on Ashford's Channel Radio. Terence turned the tables on Stuart as the niormal interviewer became the interviewee. Channel radio was happy to share a file of the recording of the show which we are delighted to share here - minus the music.
