Some insights into the Goldie art print...

Ben the Illustrator @bentheillustrator.bsky.social · 16h

I was recently commissioned to create an artwork which was gifted to the one and only Goldie.

The artwork depicts the man himself and a whole collection of items from his legendary career, and was printed with some lush gold foiling.

Line drawing of The Charlatans singer Tim Burgess. A simple, graphic pencil drawing of a singer, the singer is wearing a stripy jumper and sunglasses, he has fairly long hair and is holding a microphone and looking to one side. Behind him there are simply drawn light, a speaker and a drummer.

The Gospel and The Miracle Seeds, probably two of the BIGGEST sounding bands we saw at Tim Peaks Diner all weekend!

A few drawings from in and around the diner, what makes Tim Peaks like a festival within a festival, the coffee, the pizza, the vinyl and merch... and of course, Tiny Tim Peaks.

Did someone say signed limited edition Inspiral Carpets vinyl? (One of my sons highlights was sitting eating his bacon butty while the actual Inspirals sign records around him).

Your new favourite indie band... The Cavs! This was a pretty special one, 10 years of going to Kendal Calling and then they get to play there thanks to @tim-burgess.bsky.social

Another young musician in the making, the brilliant Kenna Mai Johnston, performing a full set at Tim Peaks Diner! (She dropped a Cure cover that was just perfect).

Another Kendal Calling catch-up... the insanely talented Julia Violinista at Tim Peaks Diner!

The brilliant Lissy Taylor grabbing her guitar from the woodlands stage to drop in for a surprise performance with @chrishawkinsdj.bsky.social!
