THESE pictures, which show acting, singing and performing, come from the 1980s.

In one, the Harwich and Dovercourt Pipes and Drums are playing at the Further Education centre in Dovercourt circa 1980.

But can you name anyone in the picture or do you know why they were performing?

The other two pictures show David Shearmur conducting the Stour Choral Society in 1985 and the Manifest Theatre putting on their production of The Pirates of Penzance in 1988.

Do you recognise anyone in either picture?

Or are you one of the performers pictured?

Or maybe you have memories and photographs of your own to share?
