Art of the World international art exhibition in London

“Art of World” exhibition video to “Damn You All”  by Frazer Kennedy at La Galleria Pall Mall

“Art of the World” international contemporary group exhibition took place at La Galleria Pall Mall in London between 16 and 22 March with the Opening Night on 17 March.  Musicians Frazer Kennedy (vocals/ guitar) and Rick Joseph (acoustic guitar) delivered fantastic entertainment on the night.  “Scotland has produced more than whisky and mythical monsters.  It has also produced Frazer Kennedy – one of the best singer-songwriters to come out of Scotland since Gerry Rafferty… ” – says Frazer’s profile on his website.  “From a childhood in the mountains and the sounds of the ceilidh, it’s little wonder Frazer’s music is inspired by the highlands and ruined castles echoing to ancient battles.”  Enjoy “Art of World” exhibition video above to the balladic  “Damn You All” by Frazer Kennedy.
