Barsham Faire 1975

Barsham 75 - Ariel Faire (07)

Georgio and the little princess

Georgio (George Kugler) was a member of the Great Salt Lake Mime Troupe and was in England to link up with Footsbarn Theatre. At Barsham he was adopted by a young girl who became his assistant. Sadly George died in 2002. But where is his little princess?

We now know her name is Saskia and here is her tale

Incubus Theatre and Black Bart

Seen all round the faire were posters offering a reward for the capture of that terrible miscreant - Black Bart. Throughout the weekend he eluded his hunters, making many a dramatic escape. Finally he was run to earth, arrested by a couple of intrepid children and served his just desserts before the assembled throng.

JB 05 BA75

I attended the 1975 Barsham Faire I helped on the Waveney Valley Goat Club stand selling Goats milk (I painted the stalls sign in olde english lettering). I loved the sound of the medeval instruments that could be heard throughout the day and can remember the smell of the wood smoke from the many fires lingering in my hair when I returned home (to Browston).
