A Proper Bo Gig! With at in Oldham for the opening of Leigh’s first Art Exhibition…ism
Had a great night opening for the artist formally known as Keith Lemon, cheers for having me Leigh! And huge thanks to for putting all this together. Absolute legend.

We also found out today aren’t a fan of the gig a day challenge 💀 but we’re not in it for accolades eh?

That’s been a gig a day 247. Love you bye. Shamone.

UNSEEN is an immersive art exhibition by Becky J Field - Artist & Creative Coach exploring the hidden and lasting impact of cyber bullying - the unseen consequences that ripple far beyond the screen and into everyday life.

Through powerful visual storytelling, UNSEEN takes audiences on a journey of disruption, loss, resilience and recovery. It explores what happens when trust is broken, safety is taken away, and life as you know it feels shattered. It shines a light on experiences often carried silently: isolation, fear, grief, identity, shame and survival.

This exhibition invites people to step inside a world where the invisible becomes visible, where emotions that are difficult to express are given shape, colour and voice. It is not only a reflection on pain and impact, but also on healing, rebuilding and finding strength after adversity.

Alongside the exhibition, a series of creative workshops will offer opportunities for participants to explore emotional expression and connection through art, writing, collage, play and a celebratory silent disco, creating spaces for reflection, release, creativity and joy.

UNSEEN is both a conversation and an experience. It asks us to consider the unseen weight people carry, the consequences words can have, and the power of creativity, community and expression in recovery.

Because some wounds cannot be seen — but they can be felt, shared and healed.
