Yes folks, another post documenting the talented arts collective that you should have read or heard about somewhere in the southeast London art scene by now. Last night I went along to their 'secret reading' which was held in The Dead Fox Gallery, Friendly Street. The comfortably ambient yet seemingly exciting event, was held there rather then the original secret venue of an old abandoned pub opposite All Saints Church in New Cross, due to unforeseen complications (namely blocked access). The night boasted a whole host of collaborative talent with many friends of Clinic, both poetic and musical, making appearances and performing live.
As a quick summary I can report that the night was as cosy as the definition of the word will allow with an overwhelmingly large turnout piling in to ambient-lit and warm, gallery space. I shall allow my photographs to do most of the talking but I can assure you the nights these guys put on are absolutely worth coming down to as the atmosphere of such an event cannot be replicated by any other genre of night out. A total success with a guaranty of meeting other artistically inclined brilliant characters.
From a photographic perpective it was a challenging night. There were at least 4 of us, probably more who were less excited to act like paparazzi snapping left right and centre, all trying to capture the atmosphere which as always is tricky in low lighting whilst trying maintain the detail of facial expressions etc. I shall also post a link to respective blogs/music hosting sites under each photo that showcases them. At this point I would like to stress that the proportion of shots of Jamie 'N' Commons is relative to the magnitude of how much I personally enjoy his music. His gravelly, belting voice and Folk-Blues songs are consistently brilliant.
