Renowned British photographer Bill Zygmant and Beatles historian and
author David Bedford have released a new book entitled “Where Did You Get That Shirt?”, featuring three decades’ worth of Zygmant’s film and rock photos.

Zygmant’s Beatles photos are considered so important that the Hard Day’s Night Hotel in Liverpool displays them within a suite named after him. This brand-new book, designed by artist Paul Skellett, contains over 200 original photos taken by Zygmant – including 60 of the Beatles (as well as John Lennon and Yoko Ono) plus the first photos of Jimi Hendrix with The Experience in London – and many that have never been published before. Also included are shots of music legends such as the Rolling Stones, the Bee Gees, Mary Hopkin, Marc Bolan, Suzi Quatro, Madness, Bananarama and more.

Bill Zygmant’s passion for photography started at an early age seeing press photographers on newsreels photographing film stars. He began his career at the London Star before going on to work at the News Chronicle in Fleet Street - first on the picture desk and then in the darkroom.

In 1966 Bill went freelance, photographing music and show business stars with his work being regularly published in the Musical Express, Billboard, Picture Post as well as british national newspapers and magazines. He has since worked as picture editor and a lecturer on film and television production.

David Bedford trained as a biologist and was a scientific researcher until his love of reading, then writing, set him along the path to becoming an author. David has had 85 books traditionally published, which have been translated worldwide in 35 languages. They include the much-loved bestselling picture-book Big Bear Little Bear, and The Team series of football fiction for juniors. He has taught creativity, literacy and author techniques in schools around the world for ten years, and now combines his writing and teaching in his new personal publishing venture, ME & YOU BOOKS – where readers write.
