As a fan and collector, you're always on the lookout for archive material that is undiscovered, especially demo's, video footage, photographs etc. But every so often you find a more recent item, yet one that is equally as exciting to find and the following photograph by Rick Henry is one such item. The photo of Howard Devoto, Steve Diggle, John Maher and Pete Shelley from 2012 really blew me away and I'm really very grateful to Rick who has kindly allowed me to share this on my blog. It's one of those photo's I wish I'd taken myself. Brilliant picture.
Fans of Howard Devoto and Buzzcocks, Magazine, Luxuria, welcome. I've been a fan of Howard's work and that of his bandmates who inspired me to become a concert photographer and set up www.shotfrombothsides.co.uk and my love of punk/post punk. No money is made from this blog nor is it linked officially to Howard or any of the related bands or individual members. This is just one man's obsession in blog form, nothing more. If you don't like any of it. Well, that's your loss, not mine.
