Genesis - 1971

My first job at 16 was as a darkroom assistant on a local paper. They trained me as a photographer and at weekends I'd go to gigs and take photos. The following are Genesis at the Lyceum in London in 1971. They've been selected by Peter Gabriel for inclusion in an online archive he's building, and have also been used as rear projection for the Montreal-based 'The Musical Box', the world's No1 Genesis Tribute Band, for their 2018-2019 international tour

1972

I spent 1971-1972 working at Weekly Post Newspapers, where I got to cover a number of local concerts. Here's a couple of shots from that time, featuring Atomic Rooster, Chris Farlowe, Mike Patto and Sandy Denny
