Carnaby is proud to host a unique rock and roll photographic exhibition by Rockarchive, launching to the public on Friday 17th October 2008.

Founded by acclaimed photographer Jill Furmanovsky in 1998, Rockarchive has become the world’s finest print archive specialising in rock and roll imagery. The exhibition celebrates 10 years of publishing rare and iconic moments in rock and roll history and will be exclusively showcasing previously unpublished and unseen images before touring the globe.

With its rich music heritage extending from 1960’s to today, Carnaby is the perfect setting for these iconic images that include The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, The Who, The Clash, U2, Led Zeppelin, Razorlight and Amy Winehouse to The Sex Pistols (who originally played in Carnaby Street). All hand signed limited edition prints will be available to buy with prices starting from £225. Early investment is recommended as print prices increase as the edition sells out. Visitors to the exhibition can enjoy an exclusive 10% discount in selected Carnaby stores including iconic Lee Jeans, original Mod destinations Merc, The Face and Sherry’s, trainer classics Gola and rock and roll jewellers The Great Frog. There will also be an auction of prints, for the Nordoff – Robins Music Therapy charity which will co-inside with the exhibition.

Made up of 12 individual streets including Carnaby Street, Newburgh Quarter, Foubert’s Place, Beak Street, Broadwick Street, Kingly Street, Marlborough and Lowndes Courts, food quarter Ganton Street, and the vibrant open air courtyard, Kingly Court. Carnaby is unique independent stores, unusual boutiques, global fashion brands, award winning restaurants, hip nightlife and destination of the photographic music event of the year.
