late night art again

Dont forget it's Thursday for Late night art
www.belfastgalleries.com

and with the weather its a beautiful walk around the galleries. saw shell shock rock on Friday in the OBG it was worth it just to see Terry hooley with dark hair and all the early footage of Belfast and the punks. Fergal sharkey with more spots than a dalmatian who can remember a time when Belfast night life was just the army police and the punks going to the Harp Bar?. I particularly liked the footage of the damp punks with the flowery umbrellas trying to keep the damp off the sugar in their hair. I was aboout 13 when the film was made and apparently it was banned from the Cork film festival and a result everyone wanted it. Anarchy in Belfast .......it's still going on you know. I've notice a few more punks around now that the good weather is here and they can protect their hair cuts, except that there is all those gels and things now.....oh ah.....you did'nt have thAT IN MY DAY.
