Linstead Road, Farnborough, Hampshire.

A spark of creativity and see what you can make happen. So proud of everyone that got involved to make #WE4REHERE festival such a successful event. We did a good thing! Watch. This. Space.

Dead tree blown down along Willems Ave in Aldershot. Second tree also dead to come down in high winds on same road. Most of the trees along Willems Ave are dying or dead. It's said some if not all those trees are infected. Also not nuch can be done as they're also protected. @rushmoorcouncil @aldershot.appreciation @lovealdershot #aldershot #lovealdershot #aldershotrants #rushmoorboroughcouncil #rushmoor #freefirewood #firewoodforfree #deadtree #stormdamage #stormcorrie #treedown #hampshire #hants https://www.instagram.com/p/CZkdm8Ktedn/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is the abandoned recreation center in Farnborough looking freaky deaky. Been prepped for demolition. Nearly 50 years of history. Most famously known for Rushmoor Mallards.. A sports club for people with physical and mental disabilities. @farnboroughleisurecentre @abandonedplaces_uk @areas.abandoned @abandoned._.places @lovefarnborough @rushmoorcouncil #farnboroughleisurecentre #farnboroughrecreationcentre #rushmoormallards #rushmoor #mallards #mallardsofrushmoor #lovefarnborough #farnborough #abandonedbuildings #abandonedplaces (at Farnborough, Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTVZ-u9tuop/?utm_medium=tumblr

And the final piece for the #windowsintothepast exhibition. It had to be done really... Words That Say - Mega City Four 100x70cm Oil on canvas What can I say? Mega City Four were one of Rushmoor's most successful bands. Touring the world relentlessly MC4 became a cult band that still have a huge (and wonderful) following of fans to this day. Fans that support the grassroots music charity I founded @f4wiz I remember walking through Aldershot with Wiz after band practice one afternoon shortly before he passed away. We walked down through Union Street to Sebastopol Road where the band recorded the album of the same name. The studio, long gone, had been replaced by flats, dandelions growing from gaps in the pavement reminiscent of the album cover I had earlier designed for Ipanema (Wiz's later band). Wiz spoke fondly of those times, telling me stories as we walked home together. Just a few weeks later I was left alone with those memories. Words That Say is arguably one of Mega City Four's best songs, at least one of my favourites. Later Gerry from the band and myself worked with 3 Loop Music to get Sebastopol Road reissued. Grab a copy of you can. This painting provides a connection, too often overlooked in day to day life. That said, it's for sale, so hit me up with a DM of you fancy owning it. @aldershottc @rushmoorcouncil #windowsintothepastaldershot #aldershot #rushmoor #heritagetrail #musicheritage #megacityfour #mc4 #sebastopolroad #cultband #synaesthesia #contemporaryart #publicart #oiloncanvas #artforsale #artforsalebyartist @3loopmusic (at Aldershot) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQbJ9M2BZUh/?utm_medium=tumblr

I'm loving that half of Hampshire drove by in the rain and are reflected in this. This is my painting of Avalanche by @hundredreasonsband for the #windowsintothepastaldershot heritage trail. Hundred Reasons were a go to band back in the day. I think I must have seen them live around a hundred times in itself. My most residing memory being when power was lost on the main stage at Reading festival. Without skipping beats, frontman Colin sang a capella. Amazing stuff. The Aldershot arts heritage trail runs until Sat 26th June throughout the town. All my works are for sale, but not up in my shop, so DM me for details. #aldershot #rushmoor #heritagetrail #publicart #musicheritage #hundredreasons #synaesthesia #contemporarypainting #abstractart #oiloncanvas #refelections (at Aldershot) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQQ31fohRHO/?utm_medium=tumblr

Reflections of Aldershot through #windowsintothepast Moving to Blackwater - Reuben 70x100cm Oil on canvas Why Reuben? Why this song? I've known Jamie, Guy & John from Reuben since before they were Reuben. Before any if us really did anything. We basically grew up together held by the singular passion that is music. Reuben were managed by one of my dearest mates @kickartsuk for many many years, played our legendary home venue @westendcentre with packed out audiences. Those shows never failed to cement a community brought together by sound. It felt a very special time, both as an exciting scene to be part of but also personally, as everything felt possible. This track resonates that pure emotion, youthful exuberance and hope. I've had a few people ask about purchasing. Please DM me as these pieces arent in my online gallery. #rushmoor #aldershot #musicalheritage #reuben #keepmusiclive #supportnewmusic #publicart #contemporaryart #synaesthesia #artoftheday #artistsofinstagram @rushmoorcouncil (at Aldershot) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPfgNjRhFxI/?utm_medium=tumblr
