I was 16 in ‘78. I was friends with a guy called Brian Williams. I remember bumping into him in town, he was with his friend Julian who was carrying a bulging bin liner. Not the most exciting of anecdotes, but funny the memories that stay clear.

Oh yes, I knew/know Brian, Michele. An author, and uncompromising fine artist now living in London.

Yes, famous amongst other things, for setting fire to The Slade. 😳

Looks like you're all about to pop out for a quick absinthe.

Amazing photo. The weathering on the print gives it an air of 1878.

julian here looks like doc emmett brown about to disappear from time after fiddling with the continuum a little too much,,,,

I love the way the photo has degraded. Like it’s fading back into the mists of time.

A Polaroid Jojo. And like us, nearly invisible now.

Haha, never. The greatest. Love it when I play Sleeping Gas to the yawning young folk, they always sit up ✊🏻✌🏻
