Today we venture all the way back to the 1960s to share some snippets of Powys life.

We begin with a cracking picture of a pantomime in Welshpool in 1966. Of course it is worth remembering some of the things which passed as acceptable in 1966 would not have made the grade in 2024.
However, we think this picture from the production of Aladdin perfectly sums up the camaraderie of live performance.
