As the curtain falls on the last of the entertainment at Pier Approach, I must add my appreciation to the council for a fantastic set-up.

Having seen 75 per cent of the acts I was amazed by the talent on show, from the youngsters of Bournemouth University, to big bands and the ‘old veterans’ like Jim Cregan.

To hear the strains of Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here while the sun was going down over the pier was a memory that will last a lifetime.

And how wonderful for our many visitors to just stumble upon a free concert.

So please powers-that-be, can we do it again next year for some more truly memorable nights?
