EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Handsworth, Birmingham in 1978. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see Michael Reilly, a member of the legendary reggae group Steel Pulse, standing proudly against the backdrop of his hometown. Dressed in a stylish cap and donning glasses that exude an air of sophistication, Reilly's serious expression hints at the depth and passion behind his music. As one of the pioneers of roots reggae, Steel Pulse used their powerful lyrics to shed light on social issues such as poverty and inequality. The image beautifully captures the essence of the 1970s music scene - raw talent intertwined with a sense of purpose. The band's influence extended beyond entertainment; they became voices for change within their community. Bill Kennedy skillfully immortalizes this moment through his lens, allowing us to witness Reilly's connection to Handsworth - a place that shaped him into who he is today. This photograph serves as a testament to both personal identity and cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back in time; feeling the rhythm pulsating through our veins while appreciating not only Steel Pulse's musical genius but also their unwavering commitment to making a difference through their artistry.
