Keith Savage: Our current Fringe Chair, Stephen Walker, speaks for us all in this statement below:
"We are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of our former Chair, Keith Savage. Keith was Chair of Buxton Fringe for six years culminating in the wonderful success of our Fringe40 celebrations in 2019. He was a kind and thoughtful man who gave so much to the Fringe over many years, being generous with both his time and energy.
Given his involvement in Buxton Film, Buxton Broadwood recitals, as a High Peak Borough Councillor, and in many other ways, Keith was central to the life of Buxton and will be missed enormously. Our thoughts are with Helen and all of Keith's family."
Keith can be heard talking about his long involvement with the Fringe in a Fringe40 interview on our History page,
