Edwin Collins will be performing at a very special instore at the Pure Groove Record Store this July.
Jarvis Cocker, David Shrigley, Franz Ferdinand, Irving Welsh and Samantha Morton are amongst 25 musicians, actors, artists and authors whose original artwork will adorn copies of Edwyn Collins' upcoming new 7" single.
The artwork will be exhibited at Pure Groove new Smithfields store from July 1st, when Collins will perform a special instore to launch the exhibition.
The former Orange Juice frontman has released a limited run of 1,500 copies of his 7" single upon its release this month. Each single is lovingly packaged and contain a paper sleeve printed with one of Collins' pencil drawings (he has amazingly re-learnt to draw with his left hand as part of recuperative therapy after suffering a stroke).
In the spirit of the great Postcard Records sleeves of old, and as a nod to the independent aesthetic, attitude and ethos that Edwyn has inspired over the years, 25 of these drawings have been re-interpreted and customised by various musicians and artists.
The prints will be sold at Pure Groove, Smithfields, with all money going to charity.
Collins will perform an intimate instore at Pure Groove's brand new store on July 1st - the day of the launch.
