- Gallery Different “Amy Winehouse” Charity Art Event for the Hannah Meredith Foundation
-
On November 8th I attended a wonderful evening event in support of the Hannah Meredith Foundation at Gallery Different in Percy Street, Fitzrovia, London which was instigated by the sad loss of Amy Winehouse. Sculptors Guy Portelli and David Begbie initiated the event to help this emerging grass roots charity focusing on working with families who are dealing with alcohol and drug problems.
The exhibition is designed to reflect the synergy between art and music and will run from the 8th to 19th November with free entrance. All work is for sale and a third of the proceeds will go to The Hannah Meredith Foundation to support its work in developing The Jade Project (jump-starting Adolescence/Adults Drug Education) programme.
Two of my pictures are included being images I took at RAK Studios of Elliott Randall, famed Steely Dan guitarist and sound man Wes Maebe moulding the sound to perfection!
As usual I took along my Leica M9 and snapped the merry throng and some of the art works. Even Amy seemed present in one of the photos standing on the pavement looking in! You can see some of the shots above, along with my two contributions and yet more in a slideshow.
