Lucy Bell Gallery is known for featuring portraits and performances of 1970s/80s pop stars celebrating those vibrant times when characters were characters, music was music. Their fans have stayed loyal to them; it was their youth too. However, this exhibition is one with a difference.

Simply walking into the gallery made Lauris Morgan-Griffiths smile.
