he taught me to curse in the ghentse dialect, call frenchmen 'mon
petit poulet pret a cuir', pass the duvel test with style, call salad
items 'tuin' and wave my arms around when talking passionately on any
subject.
without an 'off' switch in his body, he more than once made me laugh
'till i wet myself: a complete and utter bastard but he was OUR
bastard and now, with a near 30 year size whole in punched through my
life, i'm as lost as a lost thing on lost day.

So many wars, so many jokes, so many politicians... so what?
Divided by language, water and years, united in voice and guitar... that's what!

Tant de guerres, tant de blagues, tant de politiciens... Alors quoi?
Divisés par la langue, l'eau et les années, unis en voix et guitare... C'est ça!

We are very pleased to invite you to the opening of our new exhibition

"Framed Events - visual art by Ian Taylor and Brendan Croker"

Ian is a well known artist and sculptor living in Bradford.Later this year he retires as a teacher at Bradford College where he has shaped the future careers of many of the important Artists who have emerged from there.

Brendan is possibly better known as an outstanding musician with his own band, the Five O'clock Shadows and as co founder of the Notting Hillbillies as well as being regular feature of the Mekons and Tasmin Archer's line ups. But he trained as a visual artist and has regularly shows in Europe including most recently at the Ghent Festival.

Ian and Brendan are old friends and their work sits well together. They repertoire includes many of the techniques used by surrealists and dadists. But rather than creating surreal worlds their witty, wry and beautifully crafted works more often point up the delicious absurdities of the world outside our doors....

I hope you can make the opening, if not please try to catch it before it ends on 7th November. We are open Thursday to Sunday.
