In June 2022 we heard of the death of Andrew Baker. For some years we had lost touch with him as he took his technical talents to other spheres. His first reference in our archives is doing sound and lighting for Once a Catholic in 1987. For the next 12 years until 1999 he was a leading hand in the development and operation of the Barn’s electrical facilities, upgrading and rewiring the stage lighting control system and updating the supply mains to the building. This work received a tribute from Chairman Eric Farlie in his report to the AGM.

During the 1990s he served variously as Stage Director and Services Director on Council and as Technical Consultant to our Lottery Application in 1997. His last involvement was as Stage Manager for Chapter Two in 1999.

We offer our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
