ABOUT JOHN HYDE //

‘I have always painted; it was only when I got into American 60’s poster and psychedelic art that I started to take my painting seriously. At the same time, I formed a Psych Rock band. While this was going on, I started to make leather clothes and ended up making leather clothes for Rock bands, TV people and strippers. After a while I left the Rock scene and became a mural artist. It was time for a change, so I made music synthesizers and got into 70’s German experimental electronic music. I was still painting at the time. I worked at Beano’s Records in Croydon for a while. I put together a recording studio to record my electronic music and that of other bands – as you can see, I like to work on many projects at the same time. Now and then I make ceramic and plaster skulls. At present I have several projects on the go. Two paintings, recording my own music, soon to be recording parts for my niece and her band’s new single, and video and photographic image manipulation.’ ~ John Hyde

  • Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
  • Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
  • Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
  • Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space.
