This will be a good night of chat, Will Sergeant, John J. Campbell & Jon Savage at Liverpool Central Library this Friday kicking off about 6pm - see ticket info below. Liverpool Central Library Presents Punk 1976-78: Art | Style | Revolt Series of talks exploring the creative revolution of Punk Raw, confrontational, rowdy and often exhilarating, punk rock burst upon the music scene of the late 1970s, inspiring and offending in equal measure. A major exhibition marking the heyday of punk at Liverpool Central Library has been extended due to popular demand to Sunday 3 March 2019. The exhibition was developed jointly by Liverpool John Moores University, the British Library, and Liverpool Libraries. Punk 1976-78 is a free exhibition revealing the extraordinary impact punk had on music, fashion and design across the UK between 1976 and 1978. A fascinating series of talks, live bands and a disco has also now been developed in connection with the exhibition. The attitude and style of punk inspired a complete upheaval in artistic expression, fashion, design, media, and music. In a series of conversations led by Professor Colin Fallows, meet and hear some of those who both spearheaded the new spirit, or used it to unleash their own creative freedom. Colin Fallows is an artist, curator and Professor of Sound and Visual Arts at Liverpool John Moores University. He has been instrumental in the acquisition of world-class archives of popular culture/counterculture held at Liverpool John Moores University. As curator and research consultant to these archives, he has researched and curated materials in a variety of contexts for large-scale exhibitions in galleries and museums across nine countries. He curated Sex Pistols – April 1976: The Art of PTMADDEN at Wilkinson Gallery London (2016), and co-curated Punk 1976-78 at the British Library London (2016), Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens (2017-18), and Liverpool Central Library (2018-19). Friday 1 March 2019 from 6 pm onwards: John J. Campbell, Will Sergeant, Jon Savage John J. Campbell is a Liverpool based artist and musician whose multimedia work encompasses public art installation, electronic soundworks, and group performance. He has published work nationally and internationally for over forty years under his own name and as the group It's Immaterial. John J. Campbell is Executive Director of The Sound Agents Arts/Health/Heritage organisation, designing and delivering innovative projects using audio/visual methods including oral history and film to document a British hidden social history using art as a tool for communication adding to the field of international research. John J. Campbell's electronic soundworks installations include: Baby 96 (1996) at the Bluecoat Gallery Liverpool and the site-specific installation Minute Particulars (2004) produced in collaboration with Colin Fallows at the Sefton Park Palm House as part of Liverpool Biennial 2004. It's Immaterial compositions and recordings include the internationally acclaimed CDs titled: Life’s Hard and Then You Die (1986, Virgin Records) and Song (1991, Virgin Records). A new collection of work titled House for Sale is due for release in March 2019. Will Sergeant is best known for his work as songwriter and lead guitarist with Echo and The Bunnymen, formed from the emerging post-Punk scene centred on Eric’s club in Liverpool in the late 1970s, and with whom he has recorded and performed world-wide for over forty years. Echo and The Bunnymen’s debut album, Crocodiles (1980) went into the top 20 of the UK Albums Chart. After releasing their second album, Heaven Up Here (1981), the band achieved mainstream success with the album Porcupine (1983), and Ocean Rain (1984) continued the band's success with the single The Killing Moon (1984). Will Sergeant also has long-term ties with the experimental side of life, in the fields of performance, recording and the visual arts. He has produced solo and collaborative works since the late 1970s including his solo project Glide with albums such as Weird as Fish (1978), Themes for Grind (1982), Le Via Luonge (2003); and Things Inside (2012). He has collaborated with Colin Fallows since the 1980s on various international sound art projects. In 2013 he formed Poltergeist (with Les Pattinson) and released the album Your Mind Is A Box (Let Us Fill It With Wonder) (2013). In 2012 he staged his first major solo exhibition titled My Own Worst Enemy at Substrate gallery, Los Angeles, California. Jon Savage is a leading UK based writer and cultural historian. In 1976, he published the fanzine London's Outrage and during the following years he has written widely for British and American newspapers and magazines on music, pop culture and social history including: Sounds, the Village Voice, Melody Maker, the Guardian, The Observer, the Face and Mojo. His book England's Dreaming: Sex Pistols and Punk Rock (1993) won the Ralph J. Gleason Book Award in 1993 and is now regarded as the definitive history of the late seventies. His books, published to great acclaim, include Teenage: The Creation of Youth 1875-1945 (2007), The England's Dreaming Tapes (2009), and 1966: The Year the Decade Exploded (2015).
