Synth Pop
This exhibition is inspired by the early synth music coming out of Sheffield in the mid to late 1970’s at a time when Arthur Scargill was never off the front pages of UK tabloid newspapers.
The influence of people such as William Burrough’s and his “cut up’s” method had on some of the key musical visionaries of the time.
This body of work - although a very personal indulgence into my own past, is also a celebration of the band, "The Human League" and their rise to fame through very difficult times within the City they lived.
This exhibition marks the 30th anniversary of Synth-Pop in Sheffield and recognises the successes that where born out of such difficult and at times, violent circumstances.
