The MAD DAY OUT - Sixties society photographer Tom Murray had the great unexpected honour of photographing The Beatles in what was one of their most famous official photographic assignments. Murray was invited to join renowned photographer Don McCullin, to assist him in a photo shoot of a rock group. At the time Murray had no idea who his subjects were to be. On arrival at the first location, Murray could hear The Beatles' track 'Lady Madonna' being played in the background, and to his astonishment the pianist was none other than Paul McCartney. In what was to become an extraordinary day in the life of Murray , he shot a series of photographs in everyday locations. From two rolls of film t are 23 surviving shots, which have been hailed as some of the most important photographs ever taken of the group. The shoot was so last minute and the schedule so hectic, the collection of images became known as the "Mad Day Out". For three decades these shots were unseen, stored away in the dark, almost forgotten. read more
