The VI Paint Party

We met at 10 am and we finished up pretty much eleven hours later. A heap of strangers brought together to change things, to make something new and exciting in Northern Ireland.

Thanks to Tim Brundle, Andrea Clements, David Crozier, Jonathan Cusick, Richard Dale, Nick Fitzsimons, Leo Galway, Martin Gilchrist, Scott Kennedy from CFR, Patrick Lismore, Liam McGarry, Paul McKibbin, Chris McClelland, Colin Mitchell, and Lyra McKee.

(If I missed you out, message me, I’m still putting together a list here. And if you want your name linked to a web site, also message me.)

    Using software that allows me to analyse the clip frame by frame, I calculated that Martin Gilchrist spent more time chatting than painting…. I guess when Matt said ‘go work the room’ we all interpreted it in different ways… :-)

    Today was good.

  2. This is absolutely brilliant lads and a wonderful demonstration of the community spirit that seems to be behind your initiative.

    Hi James, thanks for the kind words. It was utterly inspiring and the good feeling of the day, combined with the conversation (and the pizza) meant it went in very fast. I can’t wait to visit the site this morning and see our work in the light of day. Not too keen in seeing the areas which need a second coat! And we’ve still that floor to do!
