Making deranged looking bugs today for charity. Raising money for repairs at The Old Church, our local arts venue in Stokey
Some impressive bugs made by workshop attendees though
Sam at BLAG@les_briques The Walker Brothers one is where it all started for me, so it has a lot to answer for! That's celebrating its centenary around now, and these are the two brothers themselves (Frank on the left, and Herbert on the right), now included among the contextual images on the digital version of the walking tour: https://ghostsigns.co.uk/tours.

les briquesImmortalisé ici il y a quelques années lors d'une visite organisée par @[email protected], ce duo de ghostsigns emblématique et connu des amateurs trône sur Church Street à Stoke Newington. D'un côté un palimpseste mêlant la Westminster Gazette, les allumettes Criterion et les rasoirs Gillette, de l'autre la façade d'une enseigne de réparation de stylos, activité surannée s'il en est. Celle-ci date a priori du milieu des années 20 et est inscrite au patrimoine local, ce qui est très cool. Juillet 2023.

Flavio Matani'Bleak Christmas'. This one from 2013. A large group of friends, goths for the most part (I know, they don't look the part) but also various flavours of London tribes, meeting every year to sing (ok, to belt out, to bellow, even) Christmas carols and eat a horrible cheap pub Christmas dinner at a cheap pub in Stoke Newington. This was the first year for many that it didn't take place. I missed it.

Nice bit of nominative determinism from my old stomping grounds in Stoke Newington, Northeast London.
