Proving he's more than just some guy in a band your dad won't shut up about, the “Paul McCartney, Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm” exhibition depicts photos taken by the famous Beatle during the early days of Beatlemania.
The extraordinary never-before-seen photos, taken by McCartney himself on his trusty camera, chronicle the short period when everything changed for The Beatles – and music history as a whole. Between December 1963 and February 1964, the British band went from regular gigs to superstardom thanks to a historic performance on “The Ed Sullivan Show”, birthing Beatlemania, and cementing the status of arguably the greatest band in history. McCartney's photographs offer a new perspective on this formative period.
“Paul McCartney, Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm” is on at the recently reopened National Portrait Gallery from 28 June to 1 October, and it's worth noting that visitors aged 30 and under can get tickets for just £5. Find out more here.
