Aberdeen Music Hall hosts night dedicated to its history

Robert Lovie shared stories from the Music Hall's history

Just days before closing its door for refurbishment Aberdeen Music Hall hosted a night of entertainment dedicated to people’s memories of the venue from down the years.

Its long history was told by north-east performers Robert Lovie and Cameron Mowat last Friday and audience members were also encouraged to share their anecdotes.

Far from being restricted to just concerts people heard about how the site was used for wrestling in the 1960s – despite some thinking it would lower the tone.

Len Ironside took to the stage to recall his time in boxing on the hall stage – saying that it was okay to be knocked out of the ring three ways out of four, but if you went the wrong way you would fall 10ft into the audience.

Another to share her story was Margaret Dewar, who played Dopey in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in a 1939 performance.

She said: “As I was coming onto the stage I didn’t realise you had to jump through the door, so I fell flat on my face.

“The audience loved it and were laughing away, but the stage directors liked it so much they said I had to do it in every show from then on.”

The hall will be closed for two years while two years for a £7million transformation but the audience will not be forgetting it in a hurry.
