Oh, did I meantion that the Duke of Edinburgh himself is actually going???



I really hope the exhibition goes well. A massive congratulations to the organisers of the event, Trudy Good and Karen Laurence-Rowe, fellow artists, and of course, the Belgravia Gallery for hosting.

Lets hope that the exhibition raises lots of money for the Royal Marines, a fantastic cause.

Annemarie Wright meets Peter Oakley from The Zimmers

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of meeting a true gentleman, Peter Oakley from The Zimmers. The Zimmers are the oldest gigging band in the World - I think the average age of the band is 80!!!

www.thezimmersonline.com

Anyway, I decided to do a piece of Peter after it was suggested by a Twitter friend @truedantalion. I believe his real name is Micheal Dantalion. Anyway, Michael suggested that Peter was a really inspirational character and that it would be fantastic to do a piece of him - and he was so right!

Peter is an incredibly inspiring man, who has lived an incredibly interesting life. Other than the Zimmer's he is a regular YouTuber, known as 'Geriatric1927' or 'The internet grandad'.

Peter lives in a beatuiful old house in Derbyshire, that has loads of character and he went out of his way to make me feel welcome. He also gave me a signed copy of his Zimmer's single 'Old and Wise' - I will pop the video below for you to have a look at:



Anyway, I am very pleased to say that Peter was delighted with the piece of art that I did for him, using the lyrics to 'My Generation'.

                                                         

Thanks to Peter for a wonderful day!
