in London between 6th February and 23rd March 2014.
Photographer
Colin Jones is one of the most prolific photographers of post-war Britain,
including Swinging London during the hedonistic 1960s.
The Who,
of course, were at the centre of that social revolution. The working
relationship between Jones and the band developed into a friendship that
allowed him exclusive access to rehearsal sessions, stage performances and more
private moments - such as band-members in their London homes and hunting for
Mod clothes in Chelsea boutiques.
The
intimacy of Jones’ photographs reveal an intriguing personal insight into The
Who, hailed as the greatest ‘live’ band on the planet.
The
exhibition shows the youthful exuberance of a band who not only wanted to
believe in Rock ‘n’ Roll, but wanted to feel it too. A must-see for fans and
photography lovers alike, this unique exhibition sheds new light on one of
Britain’s most iconic and most influential bands.
