Went to the private view of Kate Garner and Marchella De Angelis Jolly Darkness exhibition at the Future Gallery this week. It was a great mix of art, fashion and music with a private gig from Boy George thrown in for good measure. For those of you that don't know, Kate was one of the members of 80's new wave pop group Hayzi Fantayzee (had to check Wiki for the spelling of that one!) along with now super DJ Jeremy Healy.
