April at The Boarshead Gallery featured an Exhibition from
Ed Cartwright launching with Live music from Ed himself on
saxophone accompanied by his brother John on acoustic and
vocals, belting out original tracks like 'Who put Bella in the
Elm' to a backdrop of Ed's weird and wonderful sculptures
created using old cutlery. His sculptures cast menacing thought

across the gallery walls.
The Exhibition featured
a life size swan made
from of knives, Birds
and beatles made from
spoons & forks and a
life size man created
