    From Chalk Board to Neon Lights...

    Russell C. Brennan (aka Russell Writer) started DJing at only 15 years old in places he wasn’t even old enough to be in, where ‘Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting’ by Elton John was often on the turntable. Fought over by two agencies who wanted to represent him, he quickly established himself as a popular DJ in clubs, restaurants, dancehalls and pubs around London and Southern England before being snapped up by an international agency who would catapult him to being one of the first super DJs back in the 80s playing big clubs around Europe. He was also asked to become the premiere VJ of MTV Europe when it launched. 
    This book is far from being a bog-standard sex, drugs and rock n’ roll tale (although some of that apart from the drugs does creep in). He gives an insight into what a ruthless business it can be and covers other striking events that also became part of his journey like murder and a very unique marriage. 
    It gives an insight into what it’s like to be a top DJ and celebrity lifestyle , often in a humorous or poetic way but as is the case with some of his other biographies about other parts of his career, it’s a warts and all story featuring more than a few unusual relationships, so no holds barred and not for the squeamish. 
    Russell is currently the world’s only male Geisha (the rest are all female). What that means in reality is, he has made a dent in all the arts from writing, music, photography and art and is even editor of an influential cultural magazine and head honcho of an influential indie record label. 
    . He has come a long way since those early DJ days that first put him on the map.

    The much-anticipated new book by artist and New York Times bestselling author Sally Mann about the challenges and transcendent pleasures of the creative process 
      
    “Erudite, frank, and funny.” —Amor Towles, bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and The Lincoln Highway 
      
    Art Work, by photographer and writer Sally Mann, offers a spellbinding mix of wild and illuminating stories, practical (and some impractical) advice, and life lessons. 
    Written in the same direct, fearless, and occasionally outrageous tone of her bestselling memoir, Hold Still, this new book reaffirms Mann as a unique and resonant voice for our times and is destined to become a classic. 
      
    With immediacy and poignancy to the narrative, Art Work is full of thought-provoking insights about the hazards of early promise; the unpredictable role of luck; the value of work, work, work, and more hard work; the challenges of rejection and distraction; the importance of risk-taking; and the rewards of knowing why and when you say yes. 
      
    In sparkling prose, Art Work is a generous, provocative, and compulsively readable exploration of creativity by one of our most original thinkers.

    A Photographer's Impressions

    Francesc Català-Roca (1922 - 1998), was a Spanish photographer of great renown, considered a pioneer of documentary photography.
    Català-Roca: A Photographer's Impressions stands as a testament to an analog era, now almost entirely wiped out with the advent of the Internet and digital technologies.
    His photographic legacy is an invaluable visual testimony of the Spanish society of his time.
    His work in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s represented the emergence of new street photography in Spain. For half a century, he travelled across Spain, masterfully capturing everyday scenes of the post-war era and the essence of urban landscapes. He worked alongside artists such as Joan Miró and Antoni Tàpies, immortalizing the art and culture of the 20th century.
    Thirty years after its first edition, photography and history enthusiasts will discover previously unpublished content to enrich historiographic narratives. The text, both entertaining and spontaneous, preserves not only anecdotes about events and figures of the 20th century, but also offers humanist ideas for a responsible and passionate approach to photography. Even though the technology of that time has long been surpassed, this book remains full of vibrant ideas, serving as an antidote to today's automatism, overconsumption, and globalization that can trivialize the image.

    The Chronicle: BOOK ONE (January to March) 
     
    This is history at its best and most entertaining! One moment Liselotte, the Duchess of Orleans (1678) is observing the Prince of Orange consummating his marriage in thick woollen drawers… and the next, Harold Nicolson (1936) is at the Savoy Grill dining with the Prince of Wales and Mrs Simpson who is, "bejewelled, eyebrow-plucked, virtuous and wise". There's the young medical student watching his friend Samuel Wright (1864) bowing to the crowd as he is hanged on the roof of Horsemonger Lane Gaol. And then Joe Orton and the Beatles (1967), Philip Larkin and Kingsley Amis (1980), Captain Robert Scott and the South Pole (1912), John Betjeman, Barbara Castle, Joyce Grenfell, Alan Clark, Kenneth Williams and many other contributors… and not forgetting the anonymous but harrowing account of a witch’s trial by water (1731)
