I first met Jim Brady (not my late, missed, uncle of the same name) in 1982, after seeing his paintings in an exhibition in the foyer of The Old Vic theatre in Bristol. I subsequently bought these pictures of people from the St Paul’s and Montpelier areas of Bristol, where he lived at the time. We kept in touch for a year or two afterwards. I have wondered, from time to time since, what happened to him, but there seems to be no trace of him via Google, etc.  I hope he is still working somewhere.
