Special screening of Who killed Nancy? + Q&A with director, Alan G Parker in London

Screen on the Green are pleased to host this special event, continuing the Sex Pistols' association with the Screen on the Green, which was the first venue at which the Sex Pistols played their first gig on 3rd April 1977. Screen on the Green will be hosting this very special film screening + Q&A with the director.

On October 12th 1978 Nancy Spungeon, an ex-prostitute, sometimes stripper and heroin addict, was found dead in a bathroom at the Chelsea Hotel in New York. She also happened to be the girlfriend of the Sex Pistols' bassist Sid Vicious, who was quickly accused of her murder. Less than 6 months later, he died of a heroin overdose and the case was closed.



The death of Sid and Nancy has passed into rock legend and has only added to the controversial and notorious image of the Sex Pistols and punk music.

At the request of Sid's mother, who committed suicide in 1996, rock author and punk expert Alan Parker has devoted himself to discovering WHO KILLED NANCY? By interviewing 182 people and re-examining NYPD evidence, he reveals what really happened that night in room 100.

The Black Rat Press annual print show, London

The Black Rat Press will be holding our first exhibition of 2009 later this month.

The annual print show dedicated to the art of printmaking opens on Saturday 21st February and will include new editions, one off trial proofs, our largest and most complex print to date, hand coloured prints, prints by artists new to the Black Rat Press and live printmaking demonstrations amongst other things we have not thought of yet. 2008 was a great year for publishing with prints published by Black Rat finding their way into both the Tate and V and A collections and we are currently working on projects which we hope will make 2009 prove even better.


Artists involved in the show include Matt Small, D*face, Sweettoof, Brian Adam Douglas, Gaia, Lucas Price, Nick Walker, Blek Le Rat and Slinkachu. Last years show was one of our favourite events of the year (apart from Matt Small being hospitalized) and its a great opportunity to see printmaking in action as well as to ask the printers any questions you might have.

Invitations to the show will be sent out via email in the next few weeks.
