Manchester Photographed
1988–1993

Framed is a unique collection of photos (1988-1993) taken by Simon Taylor, a stalwart of the Madchester music scene, from the late 1980’s onwards.

Amazing photos from some truly memorable gigs are intertwined with stories, insider tales and anecdotes from Simon in conversation with renowned music journalist, musician, and TV personality John Robb. Including Simon’s story of how he helped to create the iconic cover with the lemons for The Stone Roses debut album.

From The Fall, The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays through to Kylie Minogue and Alice Cooper, there is a gem in here for everyone.

“Simon’s book is a really interesting capture of a period in Manchester’s history when some great bands were emerging to become world famous and genre changing influences. He was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.“
Bernard Sumner
