PRS 100 Years of Music Centenary Exhibition Getty Images Gallery
This month the Getty Images Gallery plays host to the Performing Rights Society Centenary. Its a 100 years since the PRS was formed on 6 March 1914 to ensure music creators were paid for live performances and sheet music. This exhibition has the best music creators, composers and songwriters including Noel Coward and Benjamin Britten. Artists such as the Arctic Monkeys are displayed next to the Beatles. The Rolling Stones are pictured in the sixties. There is an iconic picture of Ian Curtis from Joy Division, Paul Weller
and the Jam as well as a great photograph of The Clash posing next to a Railway line. Eighties and Nineties artists are represented by Morrisey and Marr, Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox, Radiohead, Blur and PJ Harvey. Photographer Lucy Sewill contributes the Photographs.
