JOhn Spink

Moved to Bristol from London in 1972, and mixed with the folks from Magic Muscle, a band, and residents of what police called the "Fun House" on Cotham Brow. 

This led to participating in some early Crystal Theatre shows, first as an actor, then as lighting director. Also worked as driver & backline guy for a couple of local bands.

Started taking pictures around 1976, and found that black & white film could be made extremely sensitive if processed in X ray developer. Ideal for taking pictures in low light situations, such as clubs, without using a flash. Started photographing the Bristol music and skateboard scene as things got exciting again in late '76 and '77. Took pictures of shows and some publicity pictures for Fried Egg Records, Out West Magazine and the National Music paper Sounds.

In 1981 left Bristol for New York City and worked for Caroline Records. Now living in Northern California and working as a tour manager for a large music merchandising company.
