Golden Girl

Twenty years ago, Spokes' friend Kris took a photo of her for an exhibition he was holding. That picture (see Extra Photo) was the inspiration for this portrait of Spokes which I've taken today to mark her birthday. She's wearing the same shirt in both shots!

Happy Birthday, Spokes! Thanks for being game for a haircut, gold face paint and a photo shoot under Junction 1 of the M53 when you could've been taking it easy!

(A few people asked me to remind them when the case/lang/veirs album was released. Well, it's out this week and it's excellent! Here's another track from it www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FlDNDLqRMI and here's a great review  www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/case-lang-veirs-album-review-an-album-of-rare-beauty-and-intelligence-a7083276.html )
