I did it last year and I liked it so I thought I should carry on the practice. In fact it might just inspire me to do it for other suitable projects. Maybe… As you will be able to see there was no event in January, hence the gap top left of the review. You [...]
I am proud and honoured to stay I have a selection of The Jazz Meet posters on sale at the moment at a pop-up shop in Manchester. The Manchester Modernist Society, publishers of the modernist magazine, have launched a modernist pop-up shop at 142 Chapel Street, Salford M3 6AF (close to Salford central Station and the Kings [...]
It’s been a while since I updated the site with some of the work I do for the record label Wah Wah 45s, but as they are having the big annual bash at The Scala next week this seems like an ideal time to do it. So, here are three recent flyers (three different venues [...]
