Lebrecht Music & Arts September 2009 Newsletter

21 September 2009

The Lebrecht Garden Party at the end of August was a great success. Don Hunstein, iconic photographer of the freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash in his classic black attire, and Billie Holiday in the recording studio, was a modest and humble speaker . Norman Lebrecht, writer and broadcaster, with careful and intuitive questions, ennabled him to explain how he worked with these artists. Don also provided a number of his classic prints for sale. These were created specially for the garden party and printed in a limited edition.

Lebrecht is delighted to announce that we are now representing the work of distinguished classic rock photographer Philip Grey. We have a selection of his rock group photos from the late seventies and the eighties, including Debbie Harry, Adam Ant, Bono, and The Clash plus his photos of world music at the renowned Womad festivals.
