Peter Saville Exhibition in Manchester

Opening party last night. Was very good. Durrutti column played a good set. Hooky was the ubiquitous NO presence as was Wilson and Saville who thanked his secondary school art teacher in a rather good intro speech.

I didn't see this exhibition at the Design Museum so don't know if there's any additional material. They did have some nice things for sale Fac 1 and Fac 3 prints, some nice T-shirts inclusing a couple of Fantin Latours. There was also a soundtrack CD which I had a cursory look at and which a friend says is by New Order and yet I can't find mention of this in your discoraphy. Is it any good?

Delicious canapes and, rare for these things, decent quantities of alchohol and reasonable queues at the bars. The exhibition was a delight and I'd recommend it without reservation.

Were Rob Gray and Bruce , playin with Vini ?

Bruce Micthell, Kier Stewart and a bald bloke on keyboards - is that Rob?

No Rob usual plays Mouth Harp

...the 'bald bloke' is laurie, he's been working with them for a while now

I went down to the Design Museum. Great stuff. Gonna check this one out 'cos there was bugger all for sale apart from the Soundtrack, Saville book and pricey poster fac print. Looking forward to seeing t-shirts and smaller prints at this one.

I took some photos last night. Didn't get everyone, but a few of Bernard and Peter Saville.

Here's the link:

FYI, this was posted elsewhere, obviously...am I reading what's in red correctly, that the worldinmotion webpile got a FAC number and that Saville wants to do graphics for it???

David Sultan

How much did he pay?

What is amusing is that Julio, now confined to just being the WIM and JD Central troll, refers to Rowetta (was there, did that) as "dear". What a complete cee ewe en tea.
