THE LAST PICTURE SHOW:
Derby danced in the streets as TV celebrities switched on twinkling
Christmas lights, the city swung into festive frenzy. Girls in
tight black sleeveless dresses cruised the streets in packs,
defying winter’s chill embrace. The Derby Quad greeted us with
smiles & generosity, instantly making us feel at ease even though
Leo’s guitar & lap top with all his sounds had been left back in
Essex. Around artists as talented as him there’s no worry.
He just borrowed a lap top & guitar & created a whole new set of
sounds, different yet just as beautiful. When the taxi arrived
with his gear on board I was almost disappointed for him, though
he did sound fantastic with all his toys in place. Looking right,
the familiar beaming smile of Peter Chilvers back behind the keys
where I’ve seen him since deep winter 2012. I realised how much
I’d put off thinking about missing him, last it all felt right.
Family & friends from around the uk gathered in the Quad’s excellent
cinema to soak up the messages from the people Kieran Evans
interviewed for our film. Messages of hope in what we are told
daily are dark times & yet….. the light still shines in the
people of our Island.
Thank you to everyone who travelled to be with us last night,
your support is huge.

A privilege to be there, arriving from Bristol just under the wire due to M42 closure. Fantastic to say hello as you were on your way out, hope it won’t be too long before we hear you live again… in whatever guise.
