14 years ago Jamie Neill (10491) took part in the CCB performance of Little Shop of Horrors and he was delighted to return to the College recently to see the musical resurrected under the directorship of Mrs Magreehan and Mrs McIlvenny.  Jamie was also pleased to see his photograph taking pride of place on the walls of the Drama studio from his performance as Olliver.

Vice Principal, Mr Chris Oswald commented. "It is always fantastic to see our Old Campbellians coming back into the College to support the boys and it was especially poignant when we discovered that Jamie had actually been in this same play 14 years ago.  It added to the moment when we discovered that he subsequently met his future wife in the College's performance of Olliver!"

Thanks to Jamie for coming back to see us!
