Although I have yet to see them myself, I am reliably informed that snowdrops are now visible, at least they would be if it wasn't for the snow!
Even the least observant among you will have now realised that the galleries haven't seen any action for a few years so I have now resorted to including appetising tasters of photo shoots here on the news page, in the hope that Picture Editors the world over will be tempted by the eclectic mix of artists on display and contact me for further images of artists they may be interested in. As this is a recent ploy there are many artists I have pictures of, who are not mentioned on the site. This oversight has not escaped me, and my new years resolution is to put that right ASAP. Recent shoots have included Ian McNabb, seen here in glorious monochrome, Martin McGuffie waiting for a lull in play to drink his beer, bluesmen Tom Doughty, seated, Michael Roache, suited, and Sherman Robertson, be-shadowed (ah, alliterations artful aid!) as well as Zoe Mulford and a panoramic view of the Blue Blokes3.
Sad to say the previously mentioned Hampton Attic Band is no more, a once bright light snuffed out by a sea of vitriol and perception of deceit, but fear not The Southbound Attic Band has emerged from the damp ashes to soar like a winged er...train. Anyway visitors most welcome to www.myspace.com/southboundatticband to keep the player count going. Once again many thanks for bothering to visit the site, especially so if you've been here before, I appreciate your interest. Barry
And I forgot to mention, thanks to Jo and Gareth, a vast number, well over twenty anyway, of my framed photographs are now on display in the function room of the Freshfield Hotel in Formby. And while I have the opportunity I'd like to thank Kev Grimes for hosting the previous exhibition at the Cafe D'Art. Nice one!
