From Hear To Photography - Ten Years Through The Looking Glass

Friday 8th July 2011 to Sunday 2nd October 2011

Private view Friday 8th 7-9pm

Chris Gabrin first became obsessed with music at the age of twelve, and then discovered his only other obsession, Photography.

In 1970 after graduating from Art College and assisting in Advertising Photography, Chris was contacted by an old friend who shared a flat with a guy who had joined a band and said "they need some pictures"...

Thus began Chris’s photographic rollercoaster ride through one of the most exciting decades in modern music. In 1970 Chris was processing and printing all his photographic work in his bedsit, and by 1980 he had established a studio and was starting to experiment with directing music videos.

This exhibition encompasses 10 years of Chris’s photographic career in the music industry with images of bands and music artists including Brinsley Schwarz, Ian Dury, Elvis Costello, The Damned, The Stranglers, Motorhead, Blondie, The Buzzcocks and many, many more.
