Mediterreno Opening Night

A new bar and restaurant opened in saltaire last night and we were there with steve to plug his business to the champagned up locals!

Steve was commissioned to do about 20 pictures for the bar and restaurrant and they looked fab. Looks like he's got some good leads as well possibly a well known hotel chain and also a well know bar chain!!!!!!

Very exciting!

Note how "excited" we look after several bottles of champers!!! particularly steph......

Damaged Goods & Nightmare Meal

Steve's p****d off at the moment as we went to the bar / restaurant last which has bought 20 of his canvases and found that they'd glued them to the wall and then nail gunned straight through the pictures???!!!

Obviously he was'nt very happy as it had taken him ages to produce and we are exhibiting some of his other work alongside the buggered up pictures!! The bar has bought them, so in theory they can do what they want but it still reflects on steve's abilities.

Anyway we went to the same restaurant last night and it was crap, steve's mum and dad came over for a meal we arrived at 8.30 and out main course did'nt arrive 10.30pm. By then i was growling and doing the silent treatment and steve was getting more and more stressed.

A few free bottles of vino and an odd breadstick won't get us rushing back....

Grrrr

McFly @ St G's

we had the pleasure of mcfly playing at St George's Hall last night. Bradford was the opening night of the tour and they'd been here since sunday rehersing.

The gig went really well, very busy 1800 - in fact we sold out in 2hrs when we went on sale back in december.

The Mc's are nice blokes actually i was chatting to them back stage (no idea of any of there names).

I was like a mother hen with the crowds outside queueing, some of them had been in the queue to get to the front of the standing area since 5.30am that morning (doors opened 13hrs later). They all looked like refugees out on the ramp as we'd given them bin bags to wear as it was snowing!!!!

One poor kid who'd been at the front of the queue since 7am fainted mid support act as she had'nt eaten or drank anything all day. She'd queued for all that time and then did'nt even see the main act! I can't understand how parents let them out at that time and also should'nt they be at school. or am i sounding old?

Steve Simpson Interiors

Steve's doing really well with his new designs, we had an exhibition a few weeks back at clarks restaurant in heaton.

We'd been there since 10am setting up for a 12noon opening while leila sloped in at 11.30am and was flying round like a bull in a china shop. she's was particulalrly p****d when the restaurant had stacked 100 chairs in front of some of her artwork.

Me and steph once again smuggled in an odd bottle of vino and a very enjoyable afternoon!!!!

anyway we had a busy day and steve's made a few pennies, he's also got a commission from a local restaurant to do 20 pics for them. YEAH!!!!!

Steve's new art exhibition

steve's got another art exhibition tomorrow afternoon. he's been working on a new range based upon the ceramic tiles stuck on gaudi's buildings in barcelona.

He's been working his guts off and i think they look cool.

i'll report back after the exhibtion a> how many he's sold and b> how many glasses of vino me and steph can drink before discracing ourselves!!!

I've just started his own arty farty weblog thing for his pics and photos from exhibtion, please drop by and say hi! there's not much on at the moment as we're adding the stuff this week.
