My Generation: The Glory Years of British Rock


On New Year's Day in 1964 the BBC launched Top of the Pops, a show that went on to become the longest-running TV show in British history. The Rolling Stones were the first band to take to the stage and Harry Goodwin was the photographer. This exhibition is a collection of Harry Goodwin's most iconic photographs, from a shocked Bob Dylan to a dramatic shot of Jimi Hendrix playing the guitar with his teeth. These images capture the essence of the 60’s and 70’s and the excitement of what was to be the beginning of British pop culture as we know it today.  

The exhibition is at the V&A museum in London and runs until 30 August.
