hay fever

Any Friday off has got to be Good. But this Good Friday was especially so as we packed ourselves off to Hay-on-Wye ("the town of books" just over the Herefordshire border in Wales) for the opening of an art exhibition at the Globe at Hay. It is the first showing for the talented artist Horace Panter (at the moment best known as bass player in The Specials). Horace's work is inspired by icons and his bold and bright approach is gently tempered by an absorbingly simple vulnerability. Impressive stuff. If you can't check out his paintings in person (the Hay exhibition runs until early June and a London exhibition awaits) then do visit his website: www.horacepanterart.com

The connection with us? Our director, Graham, has just started working on adapting Horace's excellent book on his life with The Specials - "Ska'd for Life" - for the stage. To mark the occasion our shop will be stocking a limited number of signed copies of Horace's book - watch this space.

And we're talking with Horace about commissioning a piece to be used to promote awareness and raise money for those working in disability hate crime. It's an area close to his heart as he spent many post-Specials years working as an art teacher with special needs children. Once again - watch this space...
