Return of the Bay City Roller's - Tartan Pants..

Well if you have any idea at all as to who or what the Bay City Rollers were I will be very surprised indeed; even I find it hard to remember what must have been one-of if-not-the-original all boy pop bands! But what I do have a hazy memory of is all things tartan, funky hair cuts - the shaggy dog?!! And my best friend at primary schools big sister having a framed, "trod on by Woody" piece of streamer she had recovered from the stage after a show. All great stuff. Last Thursday night it was not just the launch of the new show at White Rabbit; REFORMATION (hello!) it was also a Bay City Rollers flashback for me when I saw this suitably tartan trouser attired and funky-hair-cut young man. So here's to the forgotten band who broke millions of young girls hearts and a return of men wearing tartan.

Chippendale Art Precinct - Street Style Art Walk..

Art and artist style is quite literally exploding in Chippendale within what can only correctly be called the Chippendale Art Precinct. A week or so ago I headed out to see a couple of shows and had stummbled across an opening that was not on my list, before I had even begun.. That first gallery was the NG pop-up gallery space at Frasers on Broadway; then it was onto Abercrombie Street for an opening at MOP gallery, around the corner to (or I could have crossed the back lane through their back doors to) Kaleidoscope; then on to MCLEMOI Gallery for David Rankin's Opening Night and book signing; The New York Years... And really that is just the tip of the iceberg, not bad for one evening out. Of course there is also the mega gallery, White Rabbit (hint; there is an opening next Friday the 30th), and plenty more independents like The Commercial; and you can find lots more Chippendale Creatives here. Check them out, there's lots to see and experience; Chippendale is absolutely on-fire right now!
