“It took just five minutes in 1967 to alter the course of Robert Davidson’s life, just one photo. That photo was of Frank Zappa sitting on a toilet in a London hotel room. The photo became one of the defining images of the rock’n’roll era, and proved to be both a blessing and a curse for the man behind the camera. As he approaches his 80th birthday, Robert’s life story is now being published, sharing a remarkable life and a career spanning six decades. He is proof that by holding on, your dreams can come true.”
Buy your tickets now to join Robert for his popular illustrated talk, ‘I Shot Frank Zappa‘, as part of the Dartington Ways With Words Festival, including excerpts from his upcoming autobiography.
