See the Jam on Queen Street and more amazing pictures of Glasgow's music scene in a new book.
Chris explains: “I had no plans to do another book so soon, but when I was given an amazing cache of fresh material it seemed too good an opportunity to waste.
“The photography in this book is rare, and was in danger of being lost to the public. It’s great to be able to celebrate the unique scenes that went on in Glasgow and Paisley.” The “amazing cache” came from photographer Graham Scott, who sent Chris some pictures of acts ranging from The Jam and Ian Dury to Scottish favourites Simple Minds and Skids. Chris sourced additional photographs with the aim of creating a book about the “punk explosion” in Glasgow and Paisley in the late 70s and early 80s.
It includes mainly unpublished vernacular photography which was in danger of being lost to the public, particularly ‘crowd shots’ which and it showcases the work of renowned Scottish photographers such as Harry Papadopoulos and Laurie Evans, whose photography has been celebrated since the heyday of the music press in the 70s and 80s.
