It was whilst I was reading 'Sounds Like London: 100 years of black music in the capital' that I came up with the exhibition idea. So not only did reading his book give me an abundance of fascinating info it inspired my project, too.
My friend Kelly alerted me to the event. I'd already purchased tickets to go see Kwabs, but as a no-braner work comes first.
And it was such a lovely evening! Not only did I manage to introduce myself and have my book signed, I also gave him the newly printed and bound proposal (seriously, I feel like it's my baby, too bad I can't belly-cup it because it totally would!)
Whether Lloyd will or will not get back to me - I don't know. But I do know that he's now aware of both my existence and the project.
Listening to him speak about balck music and London was magic. As random as it seemed for a Russian to be in that room, it was the only place I wanted to be in last night.
Also, unrelated, Lloyd runs marathons. How cool is that? There's always something totally irresistible about sportsmen. Makes you want to trust them because you know they're well disciplined.
