Here’s some wonderful psychedelic artefacts for you from the archive of Nigel Waymouth and Michael English, aka Hapshash & The Coloured Coat.
It was in 1966 at legendary London psych club UFO that Waymouth – the then owner of hippie clothes emporium Granny Takes A Trip – first met English. As Hapshash & The Coloured Coat they combined avant-garde and art nouveau styles to become one of the most prolific underground poster teams of the decade.
A new exhibition in London is set to celebrate Nigel Waymouth’s creations. Takes a Trip: the sixties work of Nigel Waymouth runs September 9 - October 2, 2011 at the Idea Generation Gallery. For more information visit www.ideageneration.co.uk.
