Thursday July 2nd - Elle’s new sound collage LongLines gets its official launch at the
National Fishing Heritage Museum, Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire in
two weeks time – Thursday July 2nd at 12 midday.
LongLines is a snapshot-in-sound of the lives of Grimsby fishing
people, from the early 1900s to the present day, using found sounds,
music and museum archive interviews. The sound collage will be a
permanent installation on the dockside, welcoming visitors aboard the
museum’s exhibition trawler the Ross Tiger.
During 2008-9, Elle was the first ever artist-in-residence at the
National Fishing Heritage Museum, and LongLines is the result of the
residency. Elle was born in Grimsby and comes from a long line of
fishing people.

THE WAY OUT IS IN** New art by Jeb Loy Nichols at the Vortex
***** Jeb’s first novel was published *****
October 1st saw the publication of Jeb Loy Nichols' first novel, The Untogether, published by Alcemi Press.
The writer John Williams has had this to say: "This is not a love story. With this haunting, modernist account of lives struck by loss and threatened by love, Jeb Loy Nichols emerges as a singular voice." Iain SInclair "A spry, welcome voice.'
Jeb Loy says: "I wrote The Untogether slowly, as a patchwork. I stole mornings and minutes from other jobs, filling notebooks a line at a time; I was looking for a form that would allow me to look closely at small things. Small things, and the spaces between them, are what interest me."
Do you think the blurb description of your novel as "a love story" is accurate?
"Not really. There was a song by PIL that began with one of the great lines: This is not a love song. I think that about this book. It's a book about being and not being together - I'm not sure what a love story is anymore. Love is a too tarnished word."
