" Coventry isn’t famed for its art. Words like – Vibrant, Fresh,
Creative and Young don’t often take star roles in Coventry City Councils
shopping list – However… all this is about to change; HG have a gig,
and by gig I mean “Massive Warehouse” jam packed to the crumbling
asbestos, full of amazing art, delightful music and a crisp exciting way
of approaching life in this humdrum Coventry.
Handsome
Gentlemen don’t profess to hold any of the answers to the stagnant
mystery of Coventry’s “creative sector”. In fact HG don’t profess
anything, cards and chest etc. They do however offer a large bowl of
optimistic bread to the table - of course the bread is of good wholesome
quality; weirdly sweet in sentiment, warm and steamy.
Make no
mistakes, the group is a rabble. HG can be best described as a strange,
fuming, potion, flaring in a cauldron of confusion. A raggedy bunch of
tattooists, graffiti artists, musicians and photographers, who all excel
in their chosen field (And if they don’t they think they do) They’re
not short of confidence… However they do struggle for a voice. They
struggle for a voice in Coventry, a city that fattens daily with an
apathy for inspiration. Coventry sits spread, bursting with thick, grey
goo slipping from its seams.
HG endeavour to change the plight
of Coventry’s Creative Sector by breathing life back into the bowels of
the dwindling city. The raggedy, rabble plan to carry out their demonic
plot by showcasing an ethos of creativity, and expression. Pop along to
the warehouse or you might get shot! "
