Remembering Peter Barker

We learnt with sadness of the death of Peter Barker recently, Radio 3 announcer and a past performer here at King Charles the Martyr.

Peter was joined by colleague Paul Guinery for a rendition of Babar the Elephant here in 2013, as part of one of his retirement projects referenced in his obituary in the Telegraph this week.

Older members of the audience were reminded of his unflappable newsreading and gentile delivery on the radio, and we all enjoyed meeting him very much.
