Over the next decade Brian saw and photographed most of the big American blues musicians who played in Manchester. Brian took a keen interest in the emerging blues scene after seeing Muddy Waters on a bill with Chris Barber in 1958. Towards the end of the fifties promoters and artists began adding ‘guest stars’ to their bills, and many blues artists first appeared here in that role. Spurred on by the excitement of mixing with famous musicians, they founded the Northern Society Of Popular Music, printing up letterheads and business cards to help them gain access to the venues and dressing rooms. Along with his friends they got to know theatre managers and staff, who were happy to let them backstage to meet musicians and chat, with Brian invariably photographing the scene. He strived to get a decent frame or two, had them printed up locally, then went along the next time to have the photograph signed. He soon became known to door staff as ‘the fan with the camera’.
