Description

About the Image

Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer photographed by Peter J Walsh at the main bar of The Haçienda, Manchester, in 1991.

The portrait was made as Vic Reeves Big Night Out was bringing the pair’s surreal comedy to a national audience. Reeves and Mortimer were frequent visitors to Manchester and enjoyed nights at The Haçienda.

About the Photographer

Peter J Walsh photographed Manchester’s music and club culture throughout the late 1980s and 1990s while working for City Life magazine and the NME. A regular at The Haçienda, he documented the club’s dancefloor, crowds and changing styles as acid house and rave transformed the city.

He also photographed many of the bands and artists associated with the period, including Happy Mondays, The Stone Roses, 808 State, A Guy Called Gerald, Primal Scream and The Chemical Brothers. His archive is an important record of Manchester’s late twentieth-century music culture. Selected photographs will feature in Tate Britain’s The 90s: Art and Fashion.

All British Culture Archive prints and editions are supplied unframed and include a white border around the image. Border widths vary according to the proportions of each photograph.

If a mount is used, ask your framer to ensure that the full image, signature and edition details remain visible. A professional framer can advise on suitable archival mounting, glazing and frame options. Prints may also be framed without a mount.
