..eric clapton did a cd covering the songs of robert johnson..on the cover is a painting of clapton sitting down wearing a suit..he is also wearing a buttershaw comprehensive tie.... Peter Blake attended the royal academy of.. along-side David Hockney and Mr COLIN SMITH..who was a teacher of art at buttershaw comprehensive school..COLIN SMITH popped off Mr BLAKE painted the tie into his portrait of Clapton..a cheeky way of one artist saying goodbye to another......Tony Webster.
oh this is that thing that no one outside bradford unless they had strong ties still in bradford knew about ... I would have loved to have gone but was booked up before I found out about it!
Many ex-buttershaw pupils and teachers don't live or have much contact with Bradford anymore, so an advert in the TnA and the local radio wouldn't really get to them!
The event was advertised a good year in advance on relevant web pages and prominently on friendsreunited- the school web page etc. it was so well advertised that it had attendance from all continents. There are still after events in place. If you would like details please advise.
Hi Adrian ... did the feature stay for a long time after it's initial appearance on FriendsReunited? I don't remember ever seeing it , I do remember seeing other calls for reunions and such like, and have been to some ... maybe because the announcement was so far in advance ... Yes, please post details of after events, that would be great!
