Proud of our Roots

6th May 2009. Lamplight arts centre, Stanley.

This show saw me exhibit alongside emerging photographers, mainly from the Stanley area. Debbie Todd was instrumental in pulling the show together which was a great success, the opening was packed and had a speech from the Councillor and... me, I don't know why but they asked me to say something and I ummed and erred my way around the subject of art and culture coming to the conclusion that the Northern drive for supporting and promoting art and culture, to raise the profile of the region only means something if people put on shows like this. It brought together different people from different worlds and gave visitors an insight into something beyond the every day.
