The things we wondered at

We got along to the exhibition at Barefoot Couture. What an extraordinary place! It's great that they will be hosting regular exhibitions and the loop will keep you posted.

















Nipped to the Buy Art Fair at Urbis at the weekend too. Found it a bit disappointing. To our mind by far the best stand was from Likailin (in Prestbury) with an often provocative collection of contemporary Chinese paintings and sculpture. We look forward to visiting their shows from now on in the village. See their web site for opening times and details.

Sculpture at Likailin Gallery














Thanks to Vera for the picture of the charismatic front man from the Hot Bananas at the fabulous, bands at the bandstand day at South Park. There just aren't the words.....but we're full of a sort of admiration.

What did you get along to? What did you think?

Something for the weekend?

Music wise you can catch Apollyon at the Swan with Two Necks, and Tommy Allen and Jonny Hewitt playing Mississippi Blues at the Hollins on Friday whilst Dead River Disco are at Ronnie's on Sunday night.

Creative Sparks:The Secret Lives of Objects writing class runs at Bollington Art Centre tomorrow and then in the evening there is a Stars of Stage and Screen Spectacular at St Michaels's Church in Macc. Lyme Park is 'doing' the Victorians at home both weekend days; the perfect chance to try on some Victorian costume and try your hand at related games and puzzles.

There is a Craft fair at Capesthorne and Christ Church in Macclesfield will be opening its doors on Saturday. As we mentioned below its the final weekend of Cheshire Open studios so try to get along to some of these. The Village of Sutton is holding its first Village Arts Festival this weekend. There's a wonderful programme of music, dance, art and workshops. Not to be missed.

If that's not enough and you fancy a trip into Manchester there is the Buy Art fair at Urbis where Prestbury's Likailin Gallery will be exhibiting. I Think we'll take a look.
For more art closer to home, Barefoot Couture at Bosley cross roads are holding an auction and exhibition of local artists work in aid of East Cheshire Hospice.We love Colin Hallidays paintings so we will definitely be nipping along.

Remember if you saw it in the loop, please tell them.
