Spike Island – a photographer’s story


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.

The Roses Vaults Day 8

Bit of mixed bag today. Three clippings that I’ve lost the origins of.

First up is a review of the Hacienda gig on 27 February 1989, then two news articles from the Record Mirror that I think were from February and April of the same year.

If you can clarify the sources or dates then please leave a comment.

The Roses Vaults Day 7

Day 7 already. Is there more? Of course there is … lot’s more.

An enthusiastic review of the Roses’ Hacienda gig from 1989, just a couple of months before the album’s release.

The Roses must’ve been on the top of the world knowing what a great record they’d just made. Despite their bravado they couldn’t have know just how great … surely?
