EL: There was an office set up somewhere, near here [King Street] actually. And they had a sort of – they had a lovely young woman, a German woman called Petra Firsching that was running – she was sort of, organised all these artist exchanges. There was loads of people, like Johnny [Taylor] and Jacki [Parry] made really good links with Germany, and Dougie [Thomson], they all went over to Nuremburg and various German and French artists came over here it was an absolute hoot. And then there was Russian artists came to work here as well. But I’ve got a feeling the Russian artists – I think they came over when we were in, still in Ingram Street. I’m sure that’s when a group came over, but again Johnny would remember. Maybe it wasn’t, maybe – but definitely German artists came over when we were in Ingram Street I remember and there was quite a few links made between artists then. It was a really good time to be around actually I must say. But then there was a lot more money around then that was the thing.
