Posted by jaapv,

This thread is suffering from overposting by a few members; I have hidden some posts. It is a an unwritten convention that we leave space for other participants. The reason is twofold: Overposting drowns out the other posts and, as important, if one floods a thread, the viewers lose interest and won't even look at those posts any more. It is equivalent to hogging a conversation. So: Please don't make endless posts with a large number of images, they are deadly boring, and don't po

In recognition of this day in the U.S. a year ago, I found this badly exposed image I barely grabbed just prior to the start of a parade.

This pic has me puzzled Ken. You appear to have posterized it!

I've had a few drinks, but I still think you have 'manipulated' something.

It has taken on a Geoffrey Smart flavour. 😁

Taken in Central London where the O has been spreading like wildfire, so I totally get this.

Yes, its a Jeffrey Smart "manipulation". I have taken the road sign info out and added my creamy workflow process. Its probably more noticeable here than some of my other images with the same treatment. I am trying to produce a hyper real effect which is odd seeing that its a photograph (to start with) which then gets an urban banal styled impression added. Not posterised.

I just watched a documentary on a serial murder called "Bible John" about the Bridgeton area of Glasgow in the late 1960's that heavily featured the Barrowland dance hall because that's where Bible John selected and picked up his victims.  He murdered 4 young women and has never been caught or identified and has wound up as a type of bogeyman that mothers can frighten their children with.

The documentary brought back memories of this picture and gave a clear feeling of what Barrowland  was and how much people loved it and relied on it to provide a break from the rigours of life in Bridgeton, which was a (at the time) very rundown area of Glasgow, by offering a few hours dancing.

Thanks for posting, Colin.

Cheers, Pete.

Yes, the Barrowlands is a fantastic venue. It is largely unchanged from the ballroom it was in the 1960's. The dance floor is sprung, and designed to flex, and there are stars studded into the ceiling. All the fixtures and fittings, even the signage - in its 1960s font - are all present and correct. Going there is like travelling back in time. I think most of us who go there feel, however briefly, the shadow that Bible John still casts over the place.

It's interesting that you refer to it as "Barrowlands" too despite the enormous sign naming it without the "s".  Everyone in the documentary called it Barrowlands too but that's one of the things that appeals to me about Glasgow - the "we'll call it what we like" attitude, like "Cambslang", "Ruglen", "Wishy" etc. 👍

Funny, I never even thought about that. It's just what everyone calls it. The place had become very run-down by the early 1980's, and was rarely used. It was actually the band Simple Minds who thought that it might make a good venue for bands, and it was them who played the first gig there. The famous neon sign was only put up in 1985, and it was none other than Russ Abbot who switched it on for the first time!

In the doc Barrowland had a vertical sign to the left of the building so it was presumably scrapped before the neon sign went up in 1985.

Pete.

That vertical sign has long gone, yes. I've been going to see bands there since about 1987. I had always assumed that the big neon sign had always been there, but no. Signage aside, the place is an absolute time capsule of a bygone age. And a great venue to see your favourite bands in.
