Sex Pistols in Manchester – Exhibition

On 4 June 1976, the Sex Pistols played for the first time in Manchester at the Lesser Free Trade Hall. The gig is seen as the catalyst for the Manchester music scene which followed. Paul Welsh was the only person there on the night taking photographs, which have since been sold world-wide through Getty Images. However, this is the very first time all the photographs taken on that night have been shown to the general public.
