Episode 88: Talking Music Posters with Paul Hennessey
Both eye-catching and informative, posters are one of the most highly collectible forms of design. They are used to promote products, places, events, art, political movements and almost anything else you can think of. Today we’re joined by a special guest from across the Pond, Paul Hennessey, who owns two poster shops in the UK. We talk cats, food sauces, whether Paul may be Banksy and music posters for the Live Aid concerts and Duran Duran’s album Rio.
Pour yourself a pint and belly on up. It’s time to join us and our special guest expert back in the bar.
