This Legendary Art
is, without doubt, close to the Artist's heart . . . . ."What
can I really say, London's "Tin Pan Alley" has had almost every rock '
roll legend there has been associated with it and it is just a few
yards, across the road (Charing Cross Road) from St. Martins School of
Art where I really did spend my time painting in the mid-70's but the
lure of this street, that I first visited as far back as "The Summer of
Love" (1967) while I was still at school, was just, well, a regular
"drop-in" on the way to The Angel Pub, a favourite hang-out along with
Mooney's Bar for Art Students. Music legend is saturated in every
brick of this place. The Beatles and Jimmi Hendrix recorded in the
basements and Elton John wrote "Your Song" on the rooftops it is said."Denmark Street, nickname "Tin Pan Alley" saw Regent Sounds Studio start up at 4 Denmark Street in 1963 and
the Rolling Stones recorded their first album here, the studio had
Hendrix recording in the 60's to Stevie Wonder in 1974, my final year at St. Martins, and, amazingly,
I still visited it in that year, when it became the specialist Science
Fiction and Comics bookshop "Forbidden Planet" (after the film of the
same name) and before too long my own artistic output, in the form of
Science Fiction Book covers, was seen in this hallowed place . . . . .
. ." David
Bowie, Bob Marley, Lou Reed, Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller, Andy Kershaw,
Eric Clapton, The Sex Pistols, the list is almost endless. "When
my friends and I jammed on Gibson SG's in this street in the mid to
late 60's I had no idea my Artwork would one day end up in a shop on
this very spot. Likewise, when I started my own publishing company in
the early 90's I never thought for one moment I'd paint a picture of
it. I was visiting London, on a trip down from my Rural Countryside
studio, picking up some specialist Art materials, and I could not
resist an amble down this street, again, for old times sake. "Next
time I visit I may well just pop-in and buy a packet of Fender Rock n'
Roll gittar strings (super light guage) just for old time's sake . . .
. . . ."
