Step into the electric pulse of late-70s New York as legendary rock photographer Martyn Goddard unveils 50 hand-picked prints capturing Blondie at the height of their rise.
Commissioned to chronicle the band’s triumphant 1978 return, Goddard takes you from searing live shots to intimate studio moments across four unforgettable assignments. These images appear alongside rare posters, album covers, tour memorabilia, and the very cameras that froze these moments in time.
Fronted by the magnetic Debbie Harry, Blondie leapt from underground cool to global stardom with Parallel Lines (1978) and the chart-topping Heart of Glass (1979). Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 and with over 40 million records sold, Blondie remains a force – with a new album on the way.
Some of the items in this exhibition have been loaned by the Alan Edwards Archive. Called the ‘godfather of modern music PR’, Alan Edwards is the founder of The Outside Organisation and has represented some of the most iconic artists including Blondie since 1978, David Bowie, and the Rolling Stones.
