Peter Storrow, former publisher of Gscene, has died

Peter Storrow, former publisher of Gscene magazine, has died after a short illness.

Peter celebrated his 80th birthday last September, and said that he “might give up work when I get to 90”. Sadly that wasn’t to be.

When James Ledward, the founder and editor of Gscene, died in 2019 Peter agreed to remain as a director of the not for profit Community Interest Company which was set up to follow James’ wish that the magazine remain a community asset.

Peter was heavily involved in community projects, whether supporting James, or producing the Adult Pantomimes, but usually liked to keep his involvement quiet.

Details of his funeral are not yet available, but we are putting a tribute article together and would love to have contributions from his many colleagues and friends in Brighton, Spain, Thailand and beyond.
