are there any old timers there who worked at the Rock in the 1950’s? I started as a trainee projectionist at the forum and eventually moved to the Rock which was closer to home. I remember a few names of the employees – phil barnett, fred grogan, and a couple of young guys, chris and vic, whose last names i forget. also, does anyone recall the name of a cinema on alum rock road, which was in the vicinity of highfield road.
Hi Dennis. there really was an organist at the forum in 1950. generally he would play for a while before the show started. i recall that the odeon down the street also had an organist. i believe his name was charles, and i forget his last name.
