Kudos to Beecroft Art Gallery for an excellent day on the first ever Southend Is Brutal event. Gives a new appreciation of the fantastic buildings and structures we have in our city from that era of regeneration.

The Beecroft Art Gallery has a superb exhibition on until October celebrating “The Scene by the Sea” and the area’s considerable music and cultural heritage. Well worth a visit for memories from the Mod scene to the Junk Club,
