Barrowland Ballads
Through photography, text and graphic art, the award winning artists of Recollective (Alison Irvine, Chris Leslie, Mitch Miller) will engage with the untold stories of the Barrowland Ballroom. They will do so in close collaboration with the venue, the east end community that surrounds it, and a much wider community of gig-goers, dancers and musicians whose life stories are woven into the building.
