Deloraine, Performing Arts Centre's Little Theatre was the venue for an afternoon of filming.
Fraser Deeth and myself had organised to meet at the Little Theatre, for an afternoon of filming and recording! Laden with old suitcases full of quirky props and drapes we made our way inside.

The former council chambers gave off a neglected and mysterious feel. With many sealed over doors, little tucked away rooms and spider webs draping the ceilings.
The whole building felt somewhat out of place, backing onto a busy railway track.
The rows of old folding seats where rumoured to "... have a thirst for human flesh." but seemed to be occupied only by an inquisitive lizard.

The balcony housed the main spotlight, which penetrated the smoke
and lit up the harp quite hauntingly.

Half an hour after the last blast of smoke was released, the theatre still had a few strands wafting about, yet we managed to finish our session without setting off a single fire alarm!

After five hours of filming, we topped the day off by having lunch (four hours late)
at the local 50s Diner. Full to the brim, and totally done in, I packed up my gear and bid farewell!
Many thanks to Fraser, who not only provided this great opportunity to record my playing and have a bit of theatrical fun, but who also helped me last month in purchasing my first amplifier! A top muso and a great new friend.
Greatly looking forward to sharing the footage on this space!
