Public Service Announcement

Impressions Gallery - one of the very few contemporary photography venues in northern England - reopens this weekend after a nearly two year long closure during which they've moved from the old building in York to a brand new purpose-built home in Bradford's Centenary Square.

Doors open at noon tomorrow (Saturday 18th) and free events continue throughout the weekend. I actually really liked the creaky old York building, and saw some fantastic shows there, but I'm looking forward immensely to seeing the new premises. I'd urge anyone who can to get there and support a great - and sadly rare - asset to photography in the UK.

(And, if you're in the area, you can always come and see Stray Light play in Bolton on Sunday night!)

(Must also apologise again for lack of new photos - I have a little pile of rolls waiting to be developed, but life and music have been getting in the way. Spent the first half of this week in the studio (hello Tom!) mixing the new record - didn't quite get it all done in the available time, so we're going back to finish it next month, but there'll be some tasters posted soon...)

(Sorry.)
