“Hi! A couple of weeks ago I was approached about producing a small collection of paintings on the Manchester music scene. To cut a long story short I stumbled upon this music archive and your fantastic ticket stubs. With your permission, of course, I would like to use your ticket imagery in some of my paintings. Where the images come from would be stated with the completed paintings. Anyway you'd be making my year if you accepted. If you have any questions i'd be happy to answer them. Thankyou so much. Janine”

“Yeah no problem.”

“Cheers”

“I was there, I remember my girlfriend nearly breaking her arm in the crush to get in, the floor really boucing, the speakers looking like they were topple off the stage and pushing my way from the front to the back. Raimonde (Morrisey's friend, James Maker I think) did support, they were pretty good too.”
