The extensive U.K tour is to visit Bolton on Friday 23rd February 2018 in The Bolton Williams MINI showroom on Raines Lane.

Music exhibition specialists Off Beat Lounge have organized the tour to take visitors back to the most rebellious period ever seen before in the music business.

For one night only it will be transformed into a stunning and rocking art gallery. It will feature the work of New Musical Express (NME) photographers Chalkie Davies & Denis O’Regan.

Chalkie Davies joined NME in 1975 where he shot numerous covers and toured with huge names such as Paul McCartney. After 5 years he gave up touring and moved permanently into the studio. He specialized in black and white portraiture and captured classics such as David Bowie, The Who, and Robert Plant.

Denis O’Regan has lived an eventful life. He has been the official photographer for Live Aid!, enjoyed a dinner for 2 in Japan with Joni Mitchell, survived a 140mph car crash in Sweden in Phil Lynott’s Mercedes, picnicked with David Bowie in Australia, and that’s only to name a few!

All events will run from 7:30 pm to 9 pm for standard admission tickets, with Punk Plus ticket holders gaining early access from 6:30 pm for a ‘Q&A’ session and private viewing.
