Archive 1: Liverpool by Kevin Cummins

This box set contains a collection of photographic postcards by Kevin Cummins, featuring some of the key people of the post-punk Liverpool music scene.

The collection brings together a series of stunning photographs that capture the moods and people of the time. Ideal for those interesting in Music, photograph, social history and image.

“The Liverpool scene was really vibrant in the late 70s, early 80s. It learned a lot from the success of Manchester and fought back in an attempt to regain its place as Music Capital of Britain,” says Cummins. “The Liverpool bands always had a slightly cooler charm and confidence – which I think comes across in these images.”
