Synopsis

"Like much of the music made by the artists who entrusted her to reflect their mercurial spirits, Bayer's pictures are magic"

From the introduction by Michel Faber

Bringing together, for the first time, the music photography of Ruth Bayer, who has documented key players in the English musical post-punk underground since the mid 1980s.

With unprecedented access and intimacy, Ruth has photographed luminaries and legends including Marc Almond, David Tibet of Current 93, John Balance and Peter Christopherson of Coil, Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound, Little Annie, legendary folk singers Shirley Collins and Tiny Tim and several others, in a career spanning three decades.

A unique collection, featuring many timeless and iconic images of some of the most influential, eccentric and sometimes infamous musicians of their times.
