EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Harry Prosser, we are transported back to the vibrant and exciting atmosphere of a House of Commons reception in August 1980. The event was hosted by none other than the Minister for the Arts, Norman St John-Stevas, who extended a warm invitation to some of the biggest pop stars of that era. The image showcases an eclectic group of musicians and celebrities from various genres gathered together under one roof. Amongst them are legendary figures such as Elton John, Bob Geldof, Billy Connolly, Noddy Holder, and Kiki Dee. Their presence at this prestigious political gathering highlights not only their immense talent but also their influence on popular culture. As they mingle with politicians and engage in conversations about art and music's role in society, it becomes evident that these pop stars have transcended mere entertainment to become cultural icons. This unique convergence between politics and pop signifies a changing landscape where artists' voices hold weight beyond just their catchy tunes. Prosser's photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a snapshot that encapsulates both the glamourous world of celebrity as well as its intersection with politics. It serves as a reminder that even within the confines of traditional institutions like the House of Commons, creativity can find its place alongside policy-making discussions. This print is not just an artifact from history; it is an emblematic representation of how music has always been intertwined with society's fabric – shaping opinions while providing solace or inspiration to millions around
