Find out moreAlan Seaman
It is with great sadness that we share the news of Alan Seaman’s death at the age of 64. Despite his recent illness, the speed of his passing has come as a great shock to us all.
Alan was part of Phoenix for decades, and led Talking Pictures for many years – it’s hard to imagine the course without him. His knowledge, personal insights and humour created a unique environment and a special bond within the groups that meant people returned year after year.
But his activities extended well beyond Phoenix, and many of you will also be aware of his writing, and his work as a comedian and comedy promoter. He taught courses at Broadway and Derby Quad too, and was much loved by the many people whose lives he touched.
We will miss him greatly.
