In Search of Barney Bubbles
BBC Radio 4
This is a short overview of the life and times
of celebrated graphic artist Colin Fulcher aka Barney Bubbles.
Well known to Hawkwind fans for his work with the band in the 70s.
He also created artwork for The Damned, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury.
Sutherland Brothers, Kevin Coyne, Edgar Broughton Band etc.
Barney suffered from manic depression and committed suicide in 1983.
When I was a boy you couldn't beat playing Space Ritual, loud!
whilst marvelling at the multi-faceted sleeve design.
I have included some scans for those who may share my nostalgia.
