Artist Lesley Birch, pictured in the studio in earlier times before 21 Days In Isolation “I’ve been trying to develop my skills in this medium, and I decided to base the paintings on my trips to Scotland and Cornwall, working from my sketchbooks,” she says. Setting her artistic boundaries for the project, Lesley decided to work in oils. “Why 21 days? Well, that just came into my head, but I realise that was actually the initial lockdown time, so it must have gone in subconsciously.” Then I thought, ‘why not do this for 21 days? – a time-lapse a day and a painting a day – and see what happens’. The first few time-lapses worked out well. “So, I set up the clamp and my camera on my easel and away I went. “I’d always thought about filming my painting in a time-lapse and had never got around to it. “I set about the project almost immediately at lockdown,” says Scottish-born Lesley.

To celebrate, they’re playing Dundee’s Fat Sam’s on November 17 as part of a Scottish tour. Throughout their 30-year career, the platinum-selling duo have released 14 studio albums, including their latest offering A Pocketful of Stones. In the 90s, the band – Coatbridge-born brothers Pat and Gregory Kane – turned their backs on pop and allowed their music to take what they call an “experimental turn”, slipping in and out of a multitude of styles, including drum ‘n’ bass, afro-beat and R&B.įamed for their sibling squabbles, they disbanded in the late 90s before reforming in 2005. Their soulful sound won them an army of fans and saw them support acts including Madonna, James Brown and Van Morrison – while famously turning down the chance to go on a worldwide tour with Eurythmics and even support Frank Sinatra. Pop duo Hue and Cry were at the height of their fame in the late 80s with hits including Labour of Love and Looking for Linda. Hue and Cry play Fat Sam’s in Dundee on November 17.
