With limited skill
I take my daughter’s tune and,
with love, embellish.

146. The Bearpit (6)
This post is governed more by events than any kind of planning on my part. Last week I photographed this small wooden plaque recognising the great talents of DJ Derek. Any of you who have followed this blog for a while may remember this post of a stencil by Stewy in Leonard Lane.
There is some sad news today; news reports are claiming that the remains of Derek Serpell-Morris have been found in Patchway, North Bristol. There will be a collective sigh of sadness as people in Bristol become aware of the fate of this iconic character.
The catchphrase on the plaque is now burdened with a heavy irony given the circumstances of his disappearance and passing. I don’t know who the plaque is by, but it is signed MTB.
This is a sad day indeed.

Sounds echo around;
a great beat as feet shuffle
past from shop to shop.

David Jones
With your passing, our
lives will feel impoverished;
blue skies turned to grey.

- The reach of David Bowie’s influence can be found all around us. For example in my post published on 2 January 2016
Belshazzar’s feast
Wonderful music;
accordion and fiddle
bringing folk alive.

81. North Street hoarding (2)
I photographed this lovely Sepr work at the end of July this year, shortly after Upfest 2015. I particularly like this mural, probably because I rather like most of Sepr’s work.
It is similar to another piece he sprayed around the same time in Dighton Street. Grey shades and musical instruments.

Barry Gray and your
ondes martenot; music so
sophisticated.

- Barry Gray was the genius behind all the music in the Gerry Anderson productions: Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlett, Joe 90, UFO and Space 1999 amongst others. Incredible ’60s and ’70s music, big band, first synthesisers…just incredible. I went to a concert celebrating his music in Bristol this week. Unbelievable music for children’s programmes.
