Don’t expect jingling bells, carol singers or a Santa’s Grotto this year at Signal for Christmas. After a year of jubilees and twinkling medals, we really felt the need to redress the balance with something not festive at all. So we asked our resident Punk legend Gaye Black (aka Gaye Advert), who’s always in favour of a good dollop of the dark side, to curate this one with malice.

All the artists in the show have been given strict instructions not to have a good time and have been chosen for their penchant for the quirky anyway. Expect the worst!

The line-up is:

Ben Edge – front man from the neo-punk band ‘Thee Spivs’ and damn talented artsist

Brian P – Extraordinary artist from Australia

Carrie Reichardt - Renegade potter and mosaic artist

Dale Grimshaw – dark & moody gallery/street artist with a punk past

Ella Guru - a founding member of Stuckist movement

Espira – Purveyor of edgy/controversial images

Gaye Black – The legend herself! Many shows this year, including USA, London and Berlin

Jason Atomic – Cartoon artist from London and much more

Jowe Head – Punk legend from the influential 70s punk band the Swell Maps

KEELERTORNERO - collaborative artists producing surreal collage and paintings

MyDogSighs – Known for painting on crushed tin cans and more

Rufus Dayglo - comic book artist of Tank Girl fame

Sophie Lo - Parisian artist/designer – iconic poster & album design

Tom Spencer - Tattoo stained glass artist and bass player in a number of noted bands including the Loyalties

Wreckage International – From Mutoid Waste
