The Long and Winding Road was commissioned by Hinterland 2005 and Fierce! 2007. The End of the Road was supported by The Bluecoat and the University of Chester with thanks to British Waterways and Mersey Docks. The artist would like to thank the Steering Committee, all the venues and festivals and everyone who has supported him on The Long and Winding Road. Thank you for joining me on the journey.

Last words
Thank you for joining me on The Long and Winding Road. This is my car. This is my car history. On 17 May 2004 I embarked on a journey in a graffiti covered car from Nottingham to Liverpool. The car was packed with 365 mementoes wrapped in brown paper and string, tagged and logged. The journey lasts until 17 May 2009 when I will drive the car into the River Mersey. The journey started with a letter to my brother. The letter became a parcel. The parcel became a suitcase. The suitcase became a car. This is my car. This is my car history. This is the end of the road.
