NEWS WAVE - The Book of Love! "We can be heroes" is the right present for Christmas...

This Friday 4th November, Graham Smith and Chris Sullivan will be hosting an evening soirée geared around the forthcoming book ‘We Can Be Heroes’ at The Society Club in Soho. I’ll have polished up my frames and be exhibiting a few prints and Chris will be telling his ribald tales:

The Society Club
12 Ingestre Place, on the corner of Silver Place, which is off Lexington Street, Soho, W1F OJF.
Prints will be on sale.
It’s early 7-10pm

Afterwards Chris will be Djing classic club tunes from 1976 – 84 at the The Aviary Bar – 17 Little Portland Street, Oxford Circus, London W1W 8BW from 10 till 3:00am (http://www.theaviarybar.com/). Both venues are free to get into – so dig out your espadrilles and book yourself a baby sitter now!!!!

"We Can Be Heroes" is only available from www.unbound.co.uk/books/we-can-be-heroes

Graham was an essential cog in Spandau Ballet’s early pioneering days. He was the band’s original graphic designer and was responsible for the initial performance posters and record sleeve designs. He also happened to capture those days on camera. And now 30 years later he is producing his first photographic book of those heady days.

Chris Sullivan has written a brilliant and hilarious main text and Robert Elms has contributed an introduction. Our very own Gary Kemp has written a foreword along with Boy George and Steve Strange.

Memories fade

"Memories fade but the scars still linger, I cannot grow, I cannot move, I cannot fell my age, The vice like grip of tension holds me fast, Engulfed by you, What can I do, When history’s my cage... Look foward to a future in the past".
