Festival of the Guild

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

25 June to 1 July 2012

Be part of the celebration of the Arts Guild!

Late 40’s and early 50’s Britain was full of glamour and glitz. War was behind us and people looked forward to a new world order and a spirit of internationalism enjoyed through the arts.  In Campbell Street, Greenock the Wallace Bennett opened in 1949 followed by the Arts Guild Theatre in 1955.

This June we will honour the Arts Guild’s 65 year history with a week of performances which take us back in time with music, theatre, dance and movies from the theatre’s early days.

There are many ways to be involved, you can submit an idea for you to perform, vote for the movies you’d like to see, book for a performance and set up a stall at our Vintage Fair.

In recent years Peter has toured with his own show “Spread a Little Happiness” while headlining the blockbusting “Pride of the Clyde” show in the King’s and Pavilion Theatres in Glasgow as well as in theatres in Aberdeen and Edinburgh. He also performs overseas in the United States, Canada, Australia, etc. to a strong welcome from the many Scots there.

2012 will be the 14th consecutive year in which Peter has performed at the Arts Guild in support of local charity Greenock Medical Aid Society which operates two care homes for older people at Bagatelle and Glenfield and sheltered housing at Bagatelle Court. Proceeds from the Show will be used to further enhance the high standard of care of the residents.
