Sleepless in Montreal
By Mark Fletcher

I took those shots very early in the morning. I was playing drums at a gig in Montreal with a band called Hatfield and the North.

I was in Japan the week before on tour with Gary Boyle.

I got a call as we were about to go on stage, telling me that my good friend Pip Pyle had died, and could I replace him in Canada the next week.

I could hardly sleep after the gig, so I was wandering around the streets taking loads of pictures, hence....

I like graffiti, especially when it’s done creatively.

Mark Fletcher is a jazz musician.
