sharrovian Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Afraid I don't know anything at all about Brian Bradbury and as for Arthur Smith don't want to. A few years ago I regularly saw Big Brian Thompson knocking about around town but he seems to have disappeared ~ any news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfyre Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Last week, I was looking up some old stories in copies of The Star for 1953, and I came across a story about Eric Benson's wedding --if I remember right, Eric was one of the main men in the composing room at Sheffield Newspapers some 30 years ago.
