Joes meets Albert Irvin
Joe met Albert Irvin earlier in the year at the Chelsea Arts Club and was then invited to the private view of his exhibition "A Retrospective" in Newcastle at the University Gallery and Baring.

The first picture below shows Joe with a new work of art by Irvin, and the second picture is Joe with Albert and his wife Betty.
