Ex-Rolling Stones Star Hosts Exhibition

An exhibition of photographs by former Rolling Stones star Bill Wyman are set to go on display in the remote town of Peebles in Scotland. 

The show features a series of exclusive shots of The Rolling Stones in their early days, plus shots of other artists like Elton John and Eric Clapton.

The Eastgate Theatre in the Scottish Borders is the next stop on a tour which has taken in Tokyo, Los Angeles, Rotterdam and San Francisco.

Wyman has amassed a portfolio of over 20,000 photos which he has shot since 1965.

One photograph was taken during the infamous recording sessions for Exile On Main Street and curator Richard Havers says it counteracts the mayhem of those days with the band.

He said: "It was a black period in terms of trying to work in the band, but this picture is beautiful - it just counteracts the mayhem associated with the Stones at that point."
