The Stone Roses

Found a nice article from Paul Slattery who photographed the legendary Spike Island gig back in 1990. Read about his experience and see some of the images he captured on the big day.

And if you read this Paul, please stop by and tell us some more!

Head over to the Retna photographers blog.

Managed to track down a decent documentary from the 1990’s. Broadcast by the BBC, this 1 hour documentary charts the rise of the Roses and is well worth a listen.
