Professor Gavin Fairbairn’s Lullaby

During the first week we were invited to attend the exhibition which we had helped setup earlier in Bar Hades. We brought a DV camera to record the event and a lovely bouquet of flowers to present to the artist. Katherine was tasked with presenting these with a polish line meaning “on behalf of Leeds Metropolitan University I present these flowers”. (See the full promo video on the Projects section of the Kooji Creative website). The artist Stash focuses on one subject for all his work, a young carer named Ola who works at the Mother Theresa centre. However, each piece has a very different feel to it and the exhibition was very successful.

Following on from this the guests we’re treated to a musical event featuring classical piano pieces, Polish opera and a surprise performance from Professor Gavin Fairbairn! Sporting a classical guitar Gavin started with a gentle lullaby followed by a slightly more upbeat song. The whole event was fantastic and we enjoyed every minute of it.
