aha! that’s my poster.
I also lived at the Lab around 1973? i think. first in the rooms under the coffee bar and then in the blocked-off stairwell – an interesting shape! I remember Tony Jones, Pete, Terry Grimley, Ken Meharg and Bob, Neil Murray, Stuart Rogers et al…….it was a fun time. Did some cinema projection on the ancient old projectors, made costumes and worked with the Performance Group, and then i got into the Slade to do theatre design and moved to london. Happy memories.

Well, well, well. Zat my old friend, do you remember the sack of potatoes you bought to feed us all? If I remember correctly you disappeared one day just as mysteriously as you had arrived, we chatted about you for months after wondering what had happened to you.

I’m really surprised you don’t hear more about Birmingham Arts Lab, seems like it was a great art group. I’ve been trying to do some research on it but keep hitting dead ends :-(
