EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Peter Sheppard, we are transported back to the vibrant era of the 1960s, where music and pop culture reigned supreme. The image showcases none other than the legendary band, The Rolling Stones, bundled up inside a van parked outside Manchester's iconic Piccadilly Hotel on October 3rd, 1965. As one of the most influential bands of all time, The Rolling Stones were no strangers to fan frenzy and adoration. Eager fans would flock in droves wherever they went, making it challenging for them to move around freely. It is in this context that we learn about an intriguing tactic employed by the band - a decoy van deployed as a diversion during their gig in an attempt to evade their devoted followers. The photograph not only captures Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Brian Jones and Bill Wyman huddled together within the confines of their vehicle but also serves as a testament to their immense popularity during that period. Their faces reveal both excitement and perhaps even relief at being able to momentarily escape from prying eyes. Peter Sheppard's expertly composed shot allows us a glimpse into a moment frozen in time - one that encapsulates not only the transport challenges faced by famous musicians but also highlights how these cultural icons had become masters at navigating through fame while still remaining true artists at heart.
