You Exhibitionists!
Last night I had an exceptionally wonderful time at the launch of Belfast's new music exhibition. Henry McCullough was there, and so was Billy Harrison from Them. I was talking to a couple of Stiff Little Finger drummers, while Briana Corrigan, the former voice of The Beautiful South, made an appearance. Terri Hooley brought a mob, and you'd have been be disappointed if he hadn't. Essentially, we had a party.
The Oh Yeah firm, including myself , have been working on this for several months now. There's still a list of desirable artefacts out there but so far we've got some lovely gear. My fave is the Fender Telecaster that Andy Cairns from Therapy trashed onstage at the Mandela Hall in 1992. And the Outcasts clobber - all punk rock studs and attitude - is also excellent. You can watch a video of it all here:
