Two new town criers for Looe

Looe has two new town criers. Julie Gregory and Spencer Melia have been appointed to the role, and it marks a first for the town. Looe will now be represented by both a male and a female town crier.

Looe Town Council described the appointments as an exciting new chapter in one of the town’s oldest civic traditions.

Chosen after auditions

Julie and Spencer were picked following an application and audition process. Between them they will represent Looe at civic events, community celebrations, commemorations and other special occasions throughout the year.

The council also thanked everyone who applied and expressed an interest in the role.

Where to hear them first

One of their first public appearances will be at this year’s Lantern Parade and Christmas Lights Switch-On on Friday 27 November.

The council is asking people to join in congratulating Julie and Spencer on their appointments.
