On the weekend of May 24, 1986, a birthday party on Fleming Street in St. John’s, Newfoundland, took an unexpected turn when a police raid led to multiple arrests -- an event later dubbed, tongue firmly in cheek, “The Fleming Street Massacre". Hosted by Robbie Thomas, an influential figure in the local arts community whose legacy still lingers, the story of the gathering has since drifted into something more anecdotal, shaped by memory and retelling. Nearly four decades on, everyone seems to have their own version of what happened. In this episode, Emily Bridger sits down with guest of honour, Charlie Tomlinson, to reflect on that night and the people who made it matter.
