My records and tapes are on display until December at the Farrell Centre Newcastle University. They've very kindly given us the shop front! Imagine a record store window display circa early 80s. Think Human League, Depeche Mode, Yazoo, John Foxx, Kraftwerk and some outfit called Le Cliché who legend has it, were driving around buying up all copies of their debut single 'Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning' at the chart-return shops. Curated by Usue Ruiz Arana. Huge thanks to Usue and Rob Mackay.
