As most of you will know now, the London exhibition to coincide with the release of the wonderful new book, The Gathering Storm: The Album Art of Storm Thorgerson is now up and running at the newly opened Proud Archivist, a combined gallery, bar, restaurant, cafe and events space in Hertford Road, London N1. Today, we have an update on one of the events they have scheduled during the exhibition run.

The exhibition itself is a wonderful look through the archives of his work, and the work of his colleagues over the years, with some of the pieces presented in stunningly large sizes. There are also other items which are great fun - letters from Storm to record companies which are a hoot.

Of the events still to come, the first of these is the one that has been re-scheduled. The free Live Liquid Album Art event still takes place on Sunday, November 17th, but has moved from 2-4pm, to 6-9pm. Hosted by key StormStudios bods Peter Curzon and Dan Abbott, it gives you the chance to create your own liquid interpretation of Storm's iconic cover for The Dark Side of the Moon. More details here.

There are other events taking place. November 19th sees them host a classic album playback, letting you admire Storm's work in the context of the music and artists which inspired it; and on November 22nd they're hosting a free screening of Taken by Storm by Roddy Bagawa, a fantastic documentary about Storm's life and work.

You can see more details about each event, and get tickets where appropriate, on their website, TheProudArchivist.co.uk.
