I interviewed the great NME photographer Peter Anderson (includes Madonna on a rooftop and Fire Engines in a butcher’s shop.) open.substack.com/pub/alastair...
The Glasgow photographer who captured the energy of an era while working for the NME
From Madonna dancing on a roof to Mark E Smith flicking the Vs, Peter Anderson's pictures are a reminder of how creativity can overcome hard times
