Exclusive Newbury Beatles exhibit

Photographer exhibts never-seen-before photos of "Fab Four" in Newbury gallery
 

FANS of the “Fab Four” will go mad for an exhibition of never-seen-before Beatles photographs which go on display in a Newbury gallery.
Tom Murray, a professional photographer who photographed The Beatles in 1968, will be visiting the Balnave Gallery at The Wharf in Newbury today (Thursday July 31) to launch his ‘Mad Day Out’ limited edition prints of the group.
Murray was invited to join the renowned photographer Don McCullin on a photoshoot of a “rock group” - having no idea who he was going to snap.
However, the band turned out to be The Beatles and the ensuing collection of photographs, depicting the four-piece in everyday locations, were to become the most “important” in the band’s history.
From two rolls of film there are 23 surviving shots which have gone unseen for three decades - stored away in the dark and almost forgotten by the photographer.
The snaps, one of which eerily depicts John Lennon pretending to be dead, will be released as a series of strictly limited edition prints.
Murray will be at the gallery between 6 and 9pm to talk about the pictures and will also donate one print to local charity, Swings and Smiles.
There will also be a prize draw when one lucky winner will have their photo taken by Murray with the same camera he used to photograph The Beatles in 1968.
