Punk And Beyond by Gaye Advert

'Punk and Beyond' is an exhibition curated by Gaye Advert of paintings by punk rockers from the '70s at the Signal Gallery in London between 25 Nov - 17 December 2011.  Gaye curated a similar exhibition last year that I missed, but this time I must attend since there will be a small series of tribute portraits of Poly Styrene.

Gaye is, of course, the magnificent bass player with The Adverts in the '70s, the first punk woman of note with her big panda eyes and leather jacket. Before Debbie Harry we all loved Gaye Advert.  She's now an artist and curator of the punk heritage which is a very worthy and important role.

I shall be there.
