Admin phantom Posted June 14, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 The Bristol artist and prolific gig-goer Jeff Johns has said he is now going back to gigs after he was badly burnt in a house fire. Known as Big Jeff, he was treated at a specialist burns unit following the fire last year and is now having regular physiotherapy. He said he is also focussing on his art and creating self-portraits which reflect the topic of isolation. Mr Johns added that he looks for joy in "simple pleasures". He is now back watching gigs in the local music scene when his energy allows and plans his next exhibition of self portraits later this year. "The artwork is going to be emotional," he said. "Getting to see people's reactions to things again will be quite extraordinary."

Renaissance Williams Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 My son went to see Aphex Twin on the Downs last night and says Big Jeff was featured in the stage show visuals. Hopefully Jeff was there to catch a tribute to him from Richard James - respect to them both. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a wonderfully intense experience! I don't like filming gigs but I did film that whole bit with the images because I've got a couple of mates that I knew would appreciate it. Just a little bit of windowlicker would have been the cherry on the cake but amazing all the same. My ears are still ringing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
