Description
Some Fading Thing is a photographic tribute to Soho's famous New Evaristo Club (aka Trisha's).
Once described by the late great Antony Bourdain as the "Dean Martin of drinking establishments", Trisha's - named in honour of its Italian matriarch Trisha Bergonzi - has been serving the great and the good from a basement bar in Greek Street since 1942. Always in Italian hands, and in Trisha's, specifically, for close to three decades, the club is seen by many as one of the last surviving connections to 'Old Soho'.
Photographers and long time Trisha's members Alex Eden-Smith and Matt Davey documented their joint visits to the New Evaristo over a 12 month period, capturing stolen moments of reckless merriment and portraits of the club's staff and eclectic clientele. Shot entirely on 35mm film, Some Fading Thing is intended as a raucous celebration of one of late night London's hidden gems.
