20collaborative

“20collaborative is something positive, born from two years under a pandemic. These years have led to communication between creatives, locked in their homes, bursting with ideas and often with no outlet. We’ve talked, ideas have formed. It’s early days and I can’t say exactly where we’re going but it feels right.

I hope this’ll be a place where you’ll find something different. Not just the backstories, the tales behind the photographs, but a bit of a cross-over too. Artists: fascinating new interpretations of these photographs by folk who bring a refreshing new vision to images that we’re so familiar with. Writers: I miss the music press but retain strong links with a host of my colleagues from back in the day. I love an insight and a bit of prose. This too is mighty refreshing alongside the old classics. With the benefit of hindsight, we can look back and see things in a new light.”
