The Beatles to Bowie:  the 60s exposed – at the National Portrait Gallery – is well worth seeing if you have more than a passing interest in music.

It is a large exhibition which runs through the whole decade covering both the groups you know and those that have long been forgotten. There is a great mixture of newspapers, publicity photos, fanzines and of course stacks of iconic images. You can see a country change in front of your very eyes.

There is also a small section on the photographers themselves plus some clips of music playing in the background.

A joy.
