Ever since David Bowie
Is… at the V&A in 2013, there is a sense that we are in something of a
golden age for music-related museum shows.
Last year's Rolling Stones show at the Saatchi was a killer. And with yesterday's news from the press launch at
the V&A for the Pink Floyd exhibition, Their Mortal Remains (opening 13th
May 2017), it looks like the trend is set to continue.
Yesterday's publicity
event was full of exciting announcements – not least that the UFO Club, the
Tottenham Court Road venue where the Floyd became the de facto house band of
the underground scene here in the capital, is to be recreated for the show.
I was personally very
pleased to hear that entry to the exhibition space will be through a replica of
the battered old Bedford van in which the young Floyd toured the country. Why
so pleased? Because the van makes a cameo appearance in my Rock & Roll
London Comic Book starring Pink Floyd…
