I researched the beach accommodation as we wanted some luxury, and Exodus were happy to take these suggestions on. It was absolutely fantastic and so well organised.

  • By David Burnett
    Bob Marley: Soul Rebel — by David Burnett Bob Marley: Soul Rebel On assignment in Jamaica for Time magazine in 1976, David Gallery Images Burnett photographed Bob Marley at his Tuff Gong home in Kingston, Jamaica, and then for Rolling Stone on the start of the seminal 1977 Exodus tour. Capturing the legendary musician at an exceptional moment in time, Burnett’s work intersects with both the zenith of Marley’s career and the traumatic upheaval of his flight from Jamaica after an attempt on his life. Although only a few of Burnett’s images of Marley were originally published, in the years after Marley’s death several of the photographs have become iconic, memorializing Marley on dorm rooms walls and t-shirts across the globe. This exhibition and accompanying book present the full extent of Burnett’s extraordinarily intimate images of the reggae legend. David Burnett, a veteran photojournalist, was the last photographer to cover the Vietnam War for Life magazine. He has worked in over 80 countries, documenting the coup in Chile, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the revolution in Iran, and the US military intervention in Haiti. A co-founder with Robert Pledge of Contact Press Images, Burnett is the winner of the most prestigious awards in photography. He has photographed every American president since JFK and every summer Olympic Games since 1984. He is a regular contributor to Time magazine.

  • 1952-1958 Diarist: Anne Gillian Mary Marsham (Née Caldwell) Born
    GDP/1 Diaries of Anne Gillian Mary Marsham (née 1952-1958 Caldwell) Diarist: Anne Gillian Mary Marsham (née Caldwell) Born: 3 January 1937 Gender: female Cataloguer's comments: these diaries include a fairly length entry almost every day and take in a wide range of subjects relating both to the diarist's immediate surroundings and to the wider world. It is clear that the entries were often not made every day, but were written up several at a time from notes made at the top of each day's pages. In earlier years they usually fill the page every day. There are gaps in later diaries, but the earlier volumes are almost complete. The final entry was made on the diarist's 21st birthday. They begin whilst she is at boarding school and cover a period when she moved away from home to secretarial training and then to clerical jobs in Edinburgh. As with many diaries, references to immediate conditions, such as the weather, occur frequently throughout the diaries. The diarist frequently mentions and comments on books she has read and films, plays, and concerts she has been to. The volumes cover her relationships with her parents, her friends, and her boyfriends in some detail. They also include references to her ambitions to become a journalist and to publish poetry. The diarist's personality comes through strongly in many of the entries. OPEN GDP/2 Diary of George Lawrence Hadfield 1944 Diarist: George Lawrence Hadfield Born: 27 December 1921 Died: 27 April 2000 Gender: male This diary was kept by George Lawrence Hadfield, originally from Sheffield.
