Today we went over to Manchester’s Central Reference Library to take down my ‘Sex Pistols at the Lesser Free Trade Hall exhibition’ after its three month residency. It was visited by thousands of people and the visitors’ book was full of positive messages of thanks and love, thank you to everyone who visited the exhibition and enjoyed it.
I was initially quite unsure of how the exhibition would be received but I needn’t have worried, the library staff told me that many people were desperate to see it.
People have visited from right across the UK including Wales, Ireland and Scotland and taken from the visitors’ book here is a list of other countries visitors represented:
Italy – Canada – Germany – Japan – Australia – France – Ukraine – Argentina – Iceland – Singapore – USA – Portugal – Mexico – Spain – Finland – Netherlands – Pakistan – Algeria – Venezuela and New Zealand and they all loved it.
Now the display will spend the rest of its days in my loft unless somebody steps forward with the offer of another exhibition, if you missed it then I’m afraid you probably won’t get another a chance to view it.
All that remains for me to say once again is thank you to all the people who came to see it, thank you for your kind messages of support and the enjoyment you got from seeing what that gig actually looked like.
It’s been emotional as they say.
