About Us

The group of people who organise the Tutti frutti 1950s Seaside Festival come from a wide range of backgrounds.

The idea for a festival came from Poulton Neighbourhood Management (PNM) and Winning Back Morecambe's West End (WBMWE), 2 government funded regeneration projects working to make Morecambe a great place to live, work and play. In 2007 and 2008 the festival was funded by PNM and WBMWE.

Tutti Frutti is now run by a voluntary committee. The team are:

Sue Boswell
Sue worked for Poulton Neighbourhood Management and is now the Chair of the Tutti Frutti Festival committee. Sue runs the group and does lots of event management activities. Sue also organises community events related to the Tutti Frutti Festival to encourage more people to get involved.

Keith Louis is a devoted 1950s fan and travels to weekenders all over the country. He gives priceless advice on how festivals are run around the country and advises on the best bands. Keith also manages the hiring of the artists who are performing at the festival.

Steve Middlesborough owns Kalimba, an organisation which runs events, and manages artists and DJs. Steve came up with the name for the festival and takes an active role on the day by stage managing all of the acts.

Kate Drummond is a local resident with a keen interest in the 50s decade. She runs Sunset Ices and is also a talented graphic designer and is responsible for the Tutti Frutti artwork.

Jackie Colyer loves the 1950s and joined the group to offer her experience of 50s culture as well as offer ideas from other events she has attended.

Sarah Ellis is a local resident and a talented dance teacher. Sarah is a member of the organising committee and members from her dance school, Happy Feet, perform fantastic 1950s dance routines at the festival.
