New Alex Harvey Book To Be Released
The limited edition book is published next month
Janet Macoska, a Cleveland based photographer, and Martin Kielty, a Glasgow journalist, have collaborated to produce a limited-edition photobook entitled Alex Harvey: Last Of The Teenage Idols.
It includes never-before-seen pictures of Alex, his band and crew, on and off stage, from the first time Macoska met them in the US in 1974 to Alex’s life after he left SAHB. The full-colour hardback volume includes shots of the band’s final show together at Reading in 1977, candid images of Alex at home, and extended captions in which Macoska explains the context of each set of pictures.
Macoska currently works with the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland. Her material has featured in publications as diverse as Rolling Stone, Vogue, the New York Times and the London Times, and in album artwork by Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, the Clash, AC/DC and many others.
She says: "This is the book I’ve waited my whole life to do.
"Alex Harvey gave me my first paying photography job in rock and roll and set me on the path for my career of nearly 40 years. He was my mentor, and SAHB were legends. Finally, I can share these photos and stories with SAHB fans, friends and family.”
