The Pretenders by Tony Mottram

Photographer: Tony Mottram
Location: Bristol, England

Date: 13th January 1984

"To my best recollection we traveled to Bristol on the bands tour bus, Chrissie Hynde had a new born child and a nanny with her so all was out of bounds for photos and the feature, so the trip was spent talking about the band's new ex USAF nomex flame retardant jackets which Dave Hills the Manager had acquired. I normally like to work quickly on a shoot and it was very cold, so the band seemed to be happy to get things over sharpish. I shot two rolls of black and white around a church we had found, all outside, through fences, some silhouettes, but this was one of the first shots as we left the tour bus to walk down to the chosen location. The gig at The Colston Hall produced some interesting live shot which ended up being used in the Bands next tour program."
