There’s a Cribs exhibition opening up at Wakefield Museum
About time, to be honest
For more than a decade now, you’ve been unlikely to get through a Cribs gig without cheery chants of “Wakefield!” sung from the crowd, no matter what the city.
The Cribs = Wakefield. Wakefield = The Cribs. Cut the Jarmans and they bleed Wakefield.
So it’s only right and good that the town should be honouring its most famous sons with an exhibition at Wakefield Museum, which is set to open later this month.
No further details have been announced except for the tweet below, but if we can put in a request for some baby Jarman school photos to feature that would be great, thanks.
