Review of Friday's Happening at the Chameleon Gallery...

(By Alan Cheeseman)

What can i say!!
Thankyou to all who came and feasted upon delicious treats from maxs' film through to fantastic sets from:
1. Routinebusiness whose brilliant take on man's existence and procreative abilities and habits were mind bogling- special thanks to those who joined in the "drunken" recording session and I'll keep in touch when the resulting track is online for you to claim! Also await the invite for a picnic to record the video for it too, keep in touch directly with adrian via www.routinebusiness.co.uk.
2. Motorcyclestunts, Neil and Brendan would also like to thankyou saying the place had the most chilled vibe going and would hopefully be back to do more, the duo played some beautifully crafted and well vocally delivered material, again busy boys so check out their site for more info on where they play locally.

As for Vj Chromatouch, the skill and craftsmenship was admired by the artists performing as well as stunning the audience with graphic visuals, good tunes both well themed.
Special thanks to a lady who overcame many anxieties to attend and have read out for her, her poetry, her privacy respected here, but I'm sure she will exhibit in the future.
Carps t-shirts and limited edition prints sold well, his preview of his anti-capitalist images well-received too.
Overall a top night and be prepared for a repeat on the 11th August TBC with a possible larger slice of film and poetry from local and further afield artists possibly involving DJ/VJ Chromatouch and some readings from the routinebusiness guys concerning "repro-juice" ing!
Above all it worked, so much talk of collaborations and people meeting people, with a potential of a show involving Rob Randell and friends in the future at the gallery
Comments included "excellent idea, nice chilled atmosphere" and "there was more than i imagined, a good mix of themes and styles."
