Proud Camden Exhibition - Fifty Years of The Who by Colin Jones


A new exhibition of photographer Colin Jones’s images of The Who captures the band during their Mod heyday in the 1960s. It is on show at the Proud Camden Gallery in London between 6th February and 23rd March 2014.

Photographer Colin Jones is one of the most prolific photographers of post-war Britain, including Swinging London during the hedonistic 1960s.

The Who, of course, were at the centre of that social revolution. The working relationship between Jones and the band developed into a friendship that allowed him exclusive access to rehearsal sessions, stage performances and more private moments - such as band-members in their London homes and hunting for Mod clothes in Chelsea boutiques.

The intimacy of Jones’ photographs reveal an intriguing personal insight into The Who, hailed as the greatest ‘live’ band on the planet.

The exhibition shows the youthful exuberance of a band who not only wanted to believe in Rock ‘n’ Roll, but wanted to feel it too. A must-see for fans and photography lovers alike, this unique exhibition sheds new light on one of Britain’s most iconic and most influential bands.
