Philip Townsend

The Arts University College at Bournemouth - The gallery, Poole

From Twiggy to The Beatles. Philip Townsend’s photographs capture the sixties as they swung. Documenting the people, the style and musical revolution, the vibrant collection of images, including The Rolling Stones’ first ever photo shoot, demonstrates how close to the action the photographer was.

This stunning exhibition presents a selection of his most iconic shots and Philip Townsend’s new book ‘Mister Sixties’ will be available to purchase.

Philip Townsend is the seminal photographer of his era. His unique collection is one of the few to remain in the hands of its creator. He once said that "photographing people is like shooting ducks". Few photographers have aimed better - or bagged better trophies.

Touring exhibition produced by The Lowry, Salford

FILM NIGHT
'Performance’ (Directed by Nicholas Roeg and Donald Cammell and starring Mick Jagger, 1970)
This highly controversial film divided critics and cinema-goers at the time of its release for its graphic scenes of sex, violence and drug use. It has since acquired cult status for its experimental techniques and the film has regularly appeared in many 'best films’ lists. Mick Jagger’s performance has been voted as the best by any musician in a film.
