Marcus Harriman welcomes Mark to the Progressive House Classics Facebook Group...
'Please all join me in wishing a warm welcome to the group to none other than Mark Wigan. Mark has a rich & varied background in club promotion & design, working as an artists, a curator of club culture..
Some members will know Marks art adorned West End's The Brain Club, which he co-hosted with Sean McLusky, prior to moving on to opening the Prog nut house that was Love Ranch (there's a few old attendee's here in the group ; )
Some of you may own records that Mark created the sleeve art work for, or will have old flyers which he designed; if you read i-D Magazine back in the day you will have seen his photo's & drawings..
In more recent years Mark has opened the Museum of Club Culture in Hull, & you can check out a selection of his work at the upcoming 'The Clubland Chronicles Exhibition' in London this April..
This is just a snapshot of Marks long & diverse career involved in chronicling all things nightlife related (I hope I haven't done you any injustice in my brief intro here Mark : )

If your in the area or fancy a trip, the exhibition will be well worth checking out, If however that's not something your able to do, Mark has a website where you can pick up a great selection of signed prints. I was fortunate enough to pick a couple up earlier in the year and they really are amazing... A superb talking point when your entertaining and a great addition to the music room wall.
Limited edition signed and numbered prints are available either as A2 posters on paper or A3 size on 350gsm card. Go to https://markwigan.com
