Kevin Cummins and Dick Carruthers Announced
We are delighted to announce that these contemporary giants of photography and film will give keynote interviews at this year's ITC.
Kevin Cummins started his career in the late 1970s and was one of the first photographers to document Manchester’s burgeoning punk scene. His iconic photographs of Joy Division, Buzzcocks and others brought him to the attention of the London music magazines and he became chief photographer for NME. He has contributed to major publications including The Times, Vogue and Mojo and is currently working on a photographic retrospective of Manchester musicians to be published by Faber and Faber later this year.
Dick Carruthers will be interviewed about the various challenges involved in filming legendary Manchester band Oasis throughout the years – covering the early live shoots at Maine Road and Earls Court, the mega gigs at Knebworth in 1996 and Wembley Stadium in 2000, plus the big gigs at Finsbury park, Lancashire County Cricket Club and the City of Manchester Stadium through to 2005. Dick will also give an insight into the documentaries he has made with the band as well as the acclaimed, multi-award winning ‘Definitely Maybe’ 10 year anniversary DVD boxset.
