Hello from Gallery Midnight in St Lucia

Hi everybody,

Firstly the bad news; it looks like the gallery will not be open again this winter as the building work has still not been completed, aahhhhh!. But the good news is I have just opened a mini Gallery Midnight in St Lucia. Pina Colada’s all round!

The Ski show was a blast this year. Having the MBC and the Chamonix Tourist board along side made the whole event just more fun.

It was brilliant to have MBC beer a snowballs throw from the gallery.

So a big THANK YOU to Nadine,Terry and Matt for making the Huge effort of creating a real Chamonix atmosphere and getting every one pissed !

Thank you to Claire from the Tourist board for getting the rest of Chamonix involved.

Gary Bigham was a star, you can never underestimate the man , Thanks Gary you made it snow for après ski.

Terry and Greeny’s Beer tasted just as good as it does back in Cham. So now you know it travels well, what’s to stop you getting the whole world fizzy popped till they drop.

Richie, Snowy, John the Sex I mean ‘Sax’ and the Derminator . Thanks boys the music was brilliant.

Cindy La La added the sexiness to the show and stopped the Crevassholes from being a boy band. As a gallery girl she rocked and I could not have done with out her, especially when the beer sneaked up on the midnight. She was much better than that American girl who used to help out who could not even make a proper cup of pg tips! (hey Pattie how you doing? X)

Sarah Parmer was the head gallery girl and I now realise that sexiness sells, thanks Sarah.

Matt Snowball and Dermott provided and built the stage, sorted the lighting and sound and just added their coolness and groovyness to the whole sherbang. Thanks boys things just don’t get done with out you and I know we don’t thank you enough.

There was a lot of Chamonix back up too, Thanks to Bruce (now known as HOT DOG)

The best blond behind the bar Rachel, Craig from Heidi ski, and Heidi herself

It was great to see Charlie Adam from Bungalow graphics (loved the Yeti suit and you should move back to Chamonix I, we miss you)

I know I have missed lots of people but you also know that the rosé has stolen a lot of my memory over the years which is why I had too leave Chamonix for a while.

Andy Parkin and myself raised over £2000 for the Care Cancer Trust, So I hope that goes a long way to taking the kids skiing in Morzine this year. Thanks Parky

Well folks that’s it for now. Just wanted to touch base and wish you all a great season,

When you go skiing do a few crap turns for me and I will think of you whilst I’m sipping on my Rum and coconut water from the tree in the garden.

If you are missing the gallery and the Wednesday night wine evenings just book a flight and come and see me in the new gallery in st Lucia. If you can not make it then go on to the website and check out the paintings in ‘’Island Life’

Also on the website there are new photos from the ski show in the Flicker section.

So I leave you with the new cartoon strip which I will do on a weekly basis to keep you and myself amused over the winter. (you can check it out on the gallery midnight face book) I hope you like the young Character (thank you Vicky for lending me your son as the inspiration)

So listen the lot of you, have a smashing season and if you can’t be good be careful!

Cheers Midnight
