Pontins Rock and Roll Weekender, 1982 | Red Saunders
In 1982, photographer Red Saunders took his trusty Hasselblad camera and documented the Rock and Roll Weekender at Pontins Camber Sands. The annual gathering saw devotees from far and wide come to pay homage to the hip-swinging era of the 1950s.
Red, “Culture comes in many forms, and for over 50 years, I have been fortunate enough to capture it through my lens.”
