Edi Stark talks to the wonderfully engaging Joe Mulholland, director of Glasgow's Hidden Lane Gallery, once a garage for the hearses of the local funeral undertaker.
His complex of studios in Finnieston kick started the regeneration of a previously derelict area where he is landlord to many of Scotland's most successful artists like Jim Lambie and bands like Belle and Sebastian and Franz Ferdinand.
When he moved to his home in the west end his neighbour Margaret Watkins gave him a sealed trunk to be opened only after her death. In 1969, he discovered 1200 photographs of outstanding quality and has single handedly assured her rightful place in the history of great photographers.
In previous lives this colourful character and inveterate collector has worked as a criminal defence lawyer, newspaper editor, antiques dealer and furniture maker whose enterprises have both soared and sunk. He also talks about the challenges he's faced in his personal life and what keeps him sane.
