PODCAST TRANSCRIPT
I’m Sheila Ravenscoft, and I’m patron of the John Peel Centre for Creative Arts. I’m also one of the directors and leader of events and cleaner of toilets, and everything else (laughs).
When we took the building over there was nothing here at all – it was disused. There was no lighting, no heating, no nothing.
Phase Two, which was the £50, 000 from the Lottery helped us put in the lighting, temporary heating. It made the building usable – and we have used it. We’ve put on quite a lot of events, gigs, exhibitions.
Next year we start Phase Three, which is a huge project, which is a massive headache, but we’re going to do it. By the end of 2012, it’s going to be the most amazing building. It’s amazing now, but it’s going to be even more amazing in that it’s going to be of so much use to so many different pockets of the community.
People, when they see John’s name on it, they think it’s all about loud music and they have got to learn it isn’t, because it’s about everything. It is for the community, all ages – it doesn’t matter who you are, and will actually, I really, really feel, will put this corner of Suffolk on the map.
