RATS - Confessions of a Teenage Junkie

RATS - Confessions of a Teenage Junkie at the Beecroft Art Gallery

Join us on Saturday, 4th October, for a special evening celebrating - and commiserating - Southend’s very own Junk Club.

An evening of sonic delights to amaze and astound your nocturnal senses, focusing on the iconic installation created by Ciaran O’Shea and Dean Chalkley, as part of the Thames Group exhibition titled 'The Scene By The Sea' currently running at The Beecroft Gallery until October 27th.

There will be a visionary attack for the eyes with a short film screening, an audio onslaught for the ears with a very special secretive live musical performance, and proprioception for all senses with a Q&A panel made up of Junk’s finest.

Plus, the age-old standard proceedings: music from Southend’s club past, along with a collection of drinking materials.

You have been warned.
