Thanks for posting the reviews Church Puddle, and Alex S (on your site) each of these make for sweet reading
Fantastic Q&A, glad you captured some of it Brian but I’d so love to see more. Its really made me want to make the effort to get to Leeds next year as I get the feeling that the Film festival there is a more likely bet for Johns next performance than anywhere else, and I want to see more of Johns multimedia work as it evolves, but I do still hope he will come more north of the country to show it.
Film Noir and Englishness, and a film score for Last Year In Marienbad, it’s a fantastic thought, and I hope John completes it. Architectural Follies, Shelly, nature reclaiming our abandoned dwellings, and long forgotten structures living a life beyond our use for them, it's a theme so clearly present long ago in the Garden album.
