time- lots of faces I hadn't seen (and hadn't seen each other) for years- I
would recommend a visit! It's at the Horse Hospital, The Colonade,
Bloombury, right next to Russel Square tube

Hi Graham
I went to visit the Horse Hospital yesterday - great exhibition space
- was really good to see lots of the cover artwork for Crass band
singles & albums and much other stuff.
Will you be bidding for any of the items?
regards
Marcus
