'Magic! Gillian casts spell', Bexhill Observer, 12 September 1985

Bexhill Observer, 12 September 1985. Gillian Sanders, entering under her middle name Rhea, won the Hastings heat of the English Tourist Board's 'England Entertains' talent competition with 157 points out of 200 and went on to the regional final in Eastbourne with what the paper calls her 'female Liberace act'. She said she had hoped not to be associated with witchcraft and wanted to win on merit, and that she did not earn her living from the piano. The paper gives her address as Tunbridge Wells and recaps the BLODS curse, 'later lifted by a rival group of witches'. It spells the surname Saunders throughout. The last item in the file in which Gillian Sanders appears. Bexhill Museum item 179. Bexhill Observer cutting held in the Bexhill Observer archive at Bexhill Museum.
