EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we see Mr Percy Tucker living out his lifelong dream of playing an ancient Barrel Organ on the picturesque beach of Exmouth. As a bus conductor by profession, Percy had always been fascinated by these rare contraptions that were becoming increasingly difficult to find. Thanks to a competition organized by the Daily Mirror, Percy's wish finally came true. On a sunny day in August 1954, surrounded by excited children and families enjoying their holiday on the sandy shores of Exmouth, Devon, Percy delighted everyone with his musical talents. The sound of the organ filled the air as he skillfully played nostalgic tunes that transported people back to their childhoods. Decked out in traditional attire and with a twinkle in his eye, Percy became an instant hit among both young and old alike. His infectious enthusiasm for music brought joy and laughter to all who gathered around him. This snapshot captures not just a moment in time but also embodies the spirit of carefree fun at the seaside during the 1950s. It is a testament to how simple pleasures like music can create lasting memories and unite communities. Preserved through Bela Zola's lens, this photograph serves as a reminder of cherished moments from Life in the Mirror series - where dreams do come true against all odds.
