The Sunshine Bores the Daylight Out of Me is an exhibition of largely unseen rock images taken by photographer Justin Thomas.

Images of The Stones, The Clash, Dylan, Marley, The Specials and James Brown are among those that were lying around in boxes in his Brixton flat until Sydney Street Gallery owner Claudine Sinnett persuaded him to exhibit some of them at her recently opened gallery in Brighton.

This exhibition will be the first of several to be rolled out over the next couple of years. Images will be available to buy as limited edition runs of 50.

Sixties society photographer Tom Murray had the unexpected honour of photographing The Beatles while they were in the middle of making The White Album. Invited to join Don McCullin, best known for his war photography, he was to assist in the photo shoot.

From two rolls of film there are 23 surviving shots – the shoot was so last minute andhectic that this collection of images has become to be known as the Mad Day Out.

For three decades these shots were unseen, but now all 23 images are being made available, and released over three volumes, as signed limited editions of 195 each.

It’s a very secret circle, stencilling, given the fact that it’s illegal in most countries, but it’s a form of urban expression that’s there to provoke a reaction, using the power of surprise to greet the unsuspecting passer-by.

Stencil History X is a collection of artists from the USA and France, two countries that don’t always see eye- to-eye politically, but whose secret stencil bandits present us with interesting urban landscapes, layers of colour, abstract expressionism and simple lines.
