Tony Higgins http://www.tonyhiggins.org Composer & Drummer from Galway, Ireland Sat, 04 May 2013 20:00:53 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Christie’s Auction House, Basquiat and us (Hogan Grip) http://www.tonyhiggins.org/?p=256 http://www.tonyhiggins.org/?p=256#comments Sat, 04 May 2013 19:59:41 +0000 Tony Higgins http://www.tonyhiggins.org/?p=256 A lovely strange situation. Some of the music that myself and Declan Kelly made as Hogan Grip has been used on this video which talks to some of the people who worked with painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. Christie’s are selling some of his paintings soon, if you have a few million dollars lieing around.

I had another collaboration with Danny Cooke for a short doc about Kurt Perschke’s Redball project touring around the UK. You can watch it here:
