Melbourne Arts Festival Derbyshire

This coming Saturday and Sunday the 17 and 18 of September I shall be showing some of my work as part of the Melbourne Arts Festival.

I will be at The Grange - Packhorse Road - Melbourne - Derbyshire between 10am and 5pm on both days (approx becouse I'm travelling in by bus on both days)... I have been placed in one of the rooms with an artist called Julian Broadhurst.

I'm showing a mixture of works.... as yet not disclosed, but you can guess if you wish...

On further note I've just got involved with a project called Project Y

This involves a number of photographers and people that will be venturing to as it goes so far Denby Dale to photograph the place...

The Quad Building

Well here is another thing that seems to drive the people of Derby mad a new Arts Centre.

Personally I think its going to be a great enhancement to the city. As a building its going to hold key points in Derby's Arts community Q-Arts / Metro Cinema and Creative Industries within a central location. A place for meeting as well as collaboration.

At the moment the arts community is fractured throughout the city I feel this new centre will bring it together and stronger.

I hope they don't normalise the look and it turns into just another building. Somehow I don't think so... I hope not ... we'll see....

As an artist/photographer myself its a very important step in providing needed facilities that are also needed in the city of Derby outside of the University including dark room and workshop space as well as computer suites I think.

The link on this section will take you to the site where you can also look at the plans of Quad.

The Dust Collectors on national radio one

Yes the Dust Collectors were played tonight and it was fantastic to hear them on national radio.... about time. For one I am a friend of the band but also a big fan...

Huw Stephens was the dj... go to site and vote for them... They were played as part of the best of the unsigned acts. Playing unsigned acts is supurb which is good news for the state of new music radio since the great Mr Peel went to heaven.

I just put some new photographs of the dust ones on my site as well ...


Their playing this Thursday 8 September at The Late Bar in Derby at The Village Hall Disco....
