Free Paul McCartney photo Exhibition then visit to other galleries in the area

A wonderful opportunity to see Rearview Mirror: Liverpool–London–Paris, an exhibition of photographs by Paul McCartney. The works chronicle McCartney and his fellow Beatles as their reputation spread beyond Liverpool and Hamburg between December 1963 and early February 1964. Each picture was taken with McCartney’s 35mm Pentax camera, acquired in late 1963 around the time that the term “Beatlemania” was coined to describe the unprecedented mass hysteria that followed the band’s every move.

Seen from McCartney’s perspective as both protagonist and observer, his photographs—a mix of single frames and multi-image works—comprise a singular contribution to the visual record of the 1960s.

After we have finished, we can view a couple of other galleries nearby, a number of which have excellent free temporary exhibitions.

After all that, we can end with an entirely optional tea, drink, or snack in one of the many establishments in the area. This will offer a great opportunity to relax and chat socially after what should be an interesting afternoon.

The exhibitions are free, but the usual £1.50 group maintenance fee applies and is non refundable. Please note that Meetup now adds about £0.60 to this as well. (If you pay cash on the day, it’s £2.50).

As always, you are participating at your own risk.

We would appreciate it if you changed your RSVP no more than 2 days before the event should you find you can no longer attend. No shows or cancellations on the day may result in you being removed from the group.
