Morrissey and The Smiths by Lawrence Watson

'a pop up gallery of convenience in Salford' 

Friday August 19th, Saturday August 20th and Sunday August 21st - 5 minutes from Manchester Arena and the gig.

We are hosting a FREE Retrospective of the work by the acclaimed photographer Lawrence Watson, featuring rare and never before seen images of Morrissey and The Smiths from the 1980s taken during the hey day of the generation defining band, and the early solo work of Morrissey.

Some of these images recently featured in Watsons solo photographic show 'Manchester, so much to answer for?' and some are fresh from the archives never before published - and so we invite you to 'Home Of Honest Coffee' the weekend of the gig to enjoy our collection of images, and maybe have some vegan food and beer (yes we do vegan beer) and get ready for Morrissey's only UK date this year.

All works will be for sale, with proceeds supporting our not for profit creative work space.

Here is a short film about Lawrence Watson talking about his work.
