Text: Jay, Val, Patti. Let’s Go Gay, St. Anne’s Pier, 1958
Internal notes: QC passed
The Let’s Go Gay postcard transports you to the vibrant summer of 1958 on St. Anne’s Pier in Lancashire. Picture a lively evening under glittering lights, where dancers Jay, Val, and Patti graced the stage with their shimmering costumes and sparkling energy. The golden age of British seaside entertainment was alive with glamour and community spirit, and this postcard immortalises that moment. The sharp heels, sequinned dresses, and infectious smiles are a testament to the passion and artistry that kept the audience entranced.
As a collector, this postcard is a portal to an era when variety shows ruled the entertainment scene, and venues like St. Anne’s Pier were at the heart of cultural life. Holding this card, you can almost hear the laughter and applause from the audience, see the golden reflection of spotlights, and feel the energy of performers dedicated to their craft. It’s more than an image—it’s a snapshot of the joy and celebration of post-war Britain, a time when people came together to forget their worries and revel in the moment.
For any collector, this rare piece isn’t just memorabilia; it’s a slice of history. The handwritten notes on the reverse add a personal touch, a window into someone’s cherished memory. The phrase “Let’s Go Gay” speaks to the carefree optimism of the time, a moment when entertainment brought communities closer together, blending nostalgia with a spark of glamour.
