World music images

No online at the Popcultured website is a new gallery of world music images by David Colbran, one of the photographers who took part in the Eighthundred project.

I'm stupid

Yes, Matt Ford's gallery has been up for a few days but I've got to apologise for having the wrong link in place!
Should all be fine now and if it isn't then just hit refresh!

Now it's 800!

After a cock up or 2, the last gallery is now online so that means that all 800 subjects are now up int he Popcultured galleries. The final gallery is by Matt Ford and this photograph is of medication club promoter Jason Jones.

700

Got to apologise but I still haven't been able to get the last
photographers work into the eighthundred gallery due to
various technical complications etc. It will be up soon!

New home for Eighthundred

Big thanks to Land Securities, and an idea by the Culture Company, because Eighthundred is now going to have a new home in St.John's Precinct. Though this time the show will be split and won't be viewable all at once. But through the blog, we'll be able to let you know who is showing and where. More news soon.

Going Back To My Roots

David Colbran has sent in a new gallery's worth of photographs of his work photographing 'world music' performers and I'll get them online over the next few days. But here's one to be getting on with and it's of Richie Havens who performed at Woodstock and also sang the sublime 'Going Back To My Roots'. And then of course he also wrote the Julie Driscoll hit Indian Rope Man.

Website online

The Popcultured site has gone live with both the entire eighthundred project as well as some other work by featured photographers. Well, nearly eighthundred as we're still waiting on the final images from one of the photographers. But the rest are up there so check them out at www.popcultured.co.uk

Popcultured website

As I'm now working on the Popcultured website, I'm actually getting to see the full 800 images one by one and I keep seeing photographs I haven't come across. This is one of Peter Carr's images and features local artist Eleanor Hawkridge out for a walk on Bold Street.

Our City Our History Our Future

The Culture Company have very kindly given us a stack of souvenir DVDs to celebrate Liverpool's 800th birthday which features some great footage of Liverpool going back as far as the 1890's. So if you're down at the exhibition over the next couple of days make sure you pick one up. Thanks.

Eighthundred update

There's only 4 days left to view the show at Grand Hall Albert Dock and tonight, Thursday, we're open until 8pm. Friday-Saturday opening hours are 10am-5pm.
