Between them the Six Shooters’ photographers – Roger Sargent, Mick Hutson, Andy Fallon, Paul Harries, Andy Willsher and Andy Cotterill, have shot every notable band and musician, toured with the very best and been published in almost every major publication both nationally and across the world. The collection will features artists such as Muse, Arctic Monkeys, Paul Weller, Björk, Green Day, Lily Allen, Pete Doherty, The White Stripes, U2, Chris Martin, Dave Grohl, Kasabian, Razorlight, Killers, Jay Z, Jarvis Cocker, Ian Brown, Oasis, Morrissey, REM, Eminem, Marilyn Manson, The Kooks, Libertines, The Clash, Bobby Gillespie, Blur, Kings of Leon, Metallica and Motorhead to name a mere fraction.
