John’s connection to The Windmill ran deep, having performed in numerous productions here and acted as Musical Director for shows by the Littlehampton Musical Comedy Society. His talent and dedication to musical theatre and local societies, including the Worthing Operatic Society and the LCS Big Band, left a lasting mark on the community.
Penny shared:
“John loved his music, particularly musical theatre. I was delighted that The Windmill could accept his keyboard, which I know will get the use it deserves. It is a comfort to me that a little bit of John will live on in the theatre he loved.”
Lesley from The Windmill expressed gratitude for the donation:
“It is such a lovely surprise to receive John’s keyboard in his memory. He was such a valued member of local societies, and I can assure you it will be well-used.”
Nick, the General Manager, also reflected on the significance of this gesture:
“This story is very touching and just the thing that makes The Windmill so well thought of in the community. It is a special venue, and moments like this truly highlight its importance.”
The Windmill Entertainment Centre is more than a venue; it is a hub for creativity, connection, and community. The addition of John’s keyboard ensures that his legacy will continue to inspire performers and audiences alike for years to come.
