Libertines by Stuart Nicholls

I was the resident photographer for the only year that the Marquee lasted when it re opened in Islington. Xfm was a new radio station and was holding a Christmas party at the venue. The Libertines were the headline band. Not knowing who the support band was my friend Scott and I stayed in the bar area knocking back coffee flavoured shots (they were after all free) while the support band were on. “Don’t worry,” said Scott, “ I have heard of this band they are RUBBISH!” Taking Scott’s advice we continued drinking passing on the chance to photograph until it was Libertines turn on stage. From the moment they walked out it was magical, Pete had such a presence that night, I think I captured this along with his naive unspoilt, to me it is almost iconic. I only photographed Pete in The Libertines the once, later in Babyshambles but it wasn’t the same. The support band? Some new upstarts called The Darkness.

Edition 100 was created to give fans and collectors a chance to own pictures of their favorite bands, or images associated with them, at fair prices.  

 

 

New images are offered at an introductory price, allowing entry-level collectors to begin accumulating what will become a valuable collection.

 

As the editioned prints sell out prices rise.

  

Edition 100 prints are made on 308gm fine art matt archival papers using archival inks.

Prints are available in various sizes from A3 (297mm x 420mm) (11.7” x 16.5”) up to custom AO (841mm x 1189mm) (33.1” x 46.8”).

 

Prints are embossed with the distinctive Rockarchive logo, numbered from 1-100 and signed by the photographer or authenticated by their estate. Certificates and care instructions are also included.
