On Sunday the 11th October, in the Roof Space at Salts Mill, a sold out auditorium was treated to a conversation with Kevin Cummins. He is a Manchester born photographer (and Manchester City fan) who is responsible for taking many iconic pictures of musicians and bands, from the late seventies to the present day.
In his book, Manchester: Looking for the Light through the Pouring Rain this story is told in his own words and those of people he worked with on the NME, and using many of the iconic pictures I have already alluded to.
I've only just started to read the book, but so far it is an enthralling read, and recommended to anyone with an interest in the Manchester music scene from the late Seventies onwards, but also in photography, for Kevin Cummins is indeed a great purveyor of the fine art.
