“Puffing and globbering they drugged theyselves rampling or dancing with wild abdomen, stubbing in wild postumes amongst themselves . . .” (John Lennon ‘In His Own Write.’ 1964)
Well, a good time was had by all. Not a big crowd, but then again, being a musician I have been in rock bands in the past and played to one person in the audience (the Publican). So I am used to it. But a quality crowd it was though, lovely people, interested in some chat and wine over some canvases (not literally). So had a great night of wine, nibblies and art. The people of Gatakers Artspace did a fantastic job of putting our works up. The Brag Trade delivered all our art pieces last Monday, and left it all on the floor against the walls. It looked a mess. I couldn’t see how they could make a good exhibition from it, as we had so much stuff, and so little wall space it seemed. Many thanks to Trevor Spohr, Susan Rogers, gallery staff and volunteers. A brilliant job, and you are all sooo easy and friendly to deal with. Cheers!
But to continue – after wondering how our works might go on the walls – wow, turned up Friday night, and loved it. I picked the short straw and so did a mini speech to intro the show. Had a good chat with the Mayor of Maryborough, Gerard O’Connell. Great guy – he must be (a great guy), as he didn’t wear a tie for the evening. I thought that was a nice casual touch for a Mayor. Thanks so much Gerard for attending our little event. Great to see you there.
