landscapes - the lion & lobster, hove

Painted with ArtRage in oil and airbrush. I played for many years in a Southern Soul band in this pub, owned from 2001-2014 by Irish actor Gary Whelan ("The Bill", "Ballykissangel") and his wife Gabrielle. Nights of Guinness, cigars, the hubbub of conversation, laughter and applause - and music. Gabrielle loved our music so much that she occasionally brought us a bottle of Bollinger - went down a treat with Guinness. Gary would sometimes disrupt proceedings with impromptu monologues and poetry. A lovely couple, now living in Dublin.
