On 27th of January the world lost a legendary and unique photographer, Brian Griffin. His never ending creativity, off the wall vision and sheer drive to make new and original art left us with a body of work unlike any other, and earned him many plaudits, including Photographer of the Decade for his work in the 1980's.
We were lucky enough to be joined by Brian on the show a couple of times. He was a truly lovely person, generous with his time and with an inexhaustible supply of stories about his work and life. Our conversation with him inspired all of us greatly (John would be referencing knicker elastic for many months after the show), and Clare went on to become good friends with Brian, an unsurprising meeting of creative minds.
In tribute to Brian we're rebroadcasting his first appearance on the show, when we all got introduced to the man behind some truly incredible work, yet who somehow has gotten forgotten about as the years went on. As an added bonus, John was on this show, and it is always wonderful to hear his voice.
