Brian Cannon Q&A



















Brian Cannon, don't know the name? What if we said Definitely Maybe? Whats the Story Morning Glory? Urban Hymns?.. Getting the picture?

Brian orchestrated huge photo shoots, everything you see on a microdot sleeve ( Brian's design company) is real, its not pasted, its not photoshop'd, That in itself is reason to revisit his work. With creative budgets in decline, record companies going bust, no physical product released, digital technology making us work cheaper, faster and some times with less imagination we'll probably not see music covers like these again.

Manchester Gossip caught up with Brian and got his thoughts on a couple of points...

Is there a sense that you worked in a golden age for British Music.
The nineties was an amazing time to be involved with the bands I worked with, as for golden age, I don’t know about that, half a dozen or so good bands doesn’t constitute a golden age, but it certainly was good fun.

Best decade for music and the best year ever ? (and why ?)

I think both the sixties and seventies were incredible decades for music. As a massive fan of both The Beatles and Sex Pistols I suppose I’m bound to say that, but there was so much good music during that period that it was self perpetuating, bands were feeding off each other – a lot of inspirational music is bound to have an effect. As for a particular year, I’d have to go for 1977, the punk explosion had a nuclear effect on not only music, but the way the industry worked.
