The Show
Focusing on early Madonna (80’s) – the look here is lace, crucifixes and of course the iconic ‘Like a Virgin’ wedding dress! Inspired by Madonna’s Blond Ambition tour which has achieved cult status, with elements such as the cone brassieres and ponytail hair extensions becoming cultural icons in their own right! Caroline incorporates songs ranging from the late 80’s right up to present day in this performance.

Celebrated rock legend photographer
Promark secure photographic assignments and handle exhibition publicity
Mark says:
“Special thanks to Shirley at Promark without whom I’d have just had the one Anthology story to tell over dinner now and again. My first photography break was in the ‘EMI 100 Years of Recorded Music’ exhibition where my shot from Abbey Road was chosen to represent the Beatles Anthology. Since then I have managed to capture many of the people who changed my life through their music; from the instigators such as Sam Phillips right up to the “new hopefuls” of today. Although I have been lucky in my access to many a great gig, the thrill, anticipation and appreciation of covering these events has never left me and I hope this comes across in the pictures themselves.” 2007
