Aerodrome Originals - Jim Hare
After capturing some old recordings of Cole for the last episode, creating this episode was a natural next step. Jim Hare was the core of the Aerodrome's magic for well over 30 years. His voice, his ability to tell a story, work off of the crowd and play with the show characters was like no other and we miss him terribly.
Here we have 3 clips of Jim talking about the Aerodrome. Enjoy!
