  • Dafydd Jones: the Last Hurrah Dafydd Jones: the Last Hurrah 3 Aug–8 Sep 2018
    PRINT SALES GALLERY 3 AUG–8 SEP 2018 DAFYDD JONES: THE LAST HURRAH DAFYDD JONES: THE LAST HURRAH 3 AUG–8 SEP 2018 Snoggers, Hammersmtih Palais, London, 1981 British photographer Dafydd Jones (b.1956) has worked as social photographer since the early 1980s, contracted by such publications as Tatler, Vanity Fair, The New York Observer, The Sunday Telegraph, The Times and Independent. After winning a prize in a photography competition run by The Sunday Times magazine in 1981 with a set of pictures of the ‘Bright Young Things’, Jones was hired by Tatler magazine editor Tina Brown to photograph Hunt Balls, society weddings and debutante dances. This exhibition explores Jones’s behind-the-scenes images taken in the years that followed, between 1981-1989, known as ‘The Tatler Years’. “I had access to what felt like a secret world. It was a subject that had been written about and dramatised but I don’t think any photographers had ever tackled before. There was a change going on. Someone described it as a ‘last hurrah’ of the upper classes.” SELECTED PRESS THE GUARDIAN, 8 AUG 2018 I took this shot at Oriel College, Oxford, in 1984. I had heard that whoever won the summer rowing competition would set fire to a boat in celebration. Oriel had won seven years in a row at that point, and I remember there were complaints that it was all getting out of hand. The whole event was slightly mad. After a long, boozy dinner, groups of suited men would run arm-in-arm and jump through the blaze, or dash through the embers in their smart shoes.

For a period of time (1787-1791) he served as chamber composer to Catherine II of Russia and composed two operas for production in St. Petersburg in addition to a quantity of instrumental and vocal wo rks. He also succeeded Salieri as Kapell­ meister at the Austrian court under Leopold II. It was while he was in the service of Leopold that he composed The Secret Marriage (II M atrirnonio segreto), his only opera to maintain a place in the active operatic repertory. This lively example of Italian buffo was very successful from the first performance at the Burg Theater in Vienna, February 7, 1792.
