Mark Radcliffe for Art Fund

I was very pleased to be asked to contribute stills for a forthcoming episode of Art Fund’s Meet Me at the Museum podcast, in which radio presenter Mark Radcliffe and his bandmate Paul Langley tour Manchester’s Museum of Science and Industry.

I’ve photographed Mark a couple of times before, once memorably in a vintage VW Beetle in Tatton Park for the Daily Telegraph (don’t judge me).

On this occasion we were in MOSI looking around Use Hearing Protection, an exhibition telling the story of Factory Records' formative years from 1978 to 1982, and how their innovative work in music, technology and design gave Manchester an authentic voice and distinctive identity.
