WHAT: JOHNNY MARR EXHIBITION AND SIGNING SESSION
WHERE: ROUGH TRADE EAST
WHEN: EXHIBITION ON DISPLAY FROM TUESDAY 5th FEBRUARY 2013
SIGNING SESSION ON THURSDAY 28th FEBRUARY AT 7pm
Having initially found fame as guitarist and ‘curator’ of all things music with The Smiths, the ever pragmatic and effortlessly cool Johnny Marr did not take long to find his feet post Smithsdom. Having kick-started a (Britpop) generation of guitarists with his rickenbacker-esque fretwork in The Smiths, Johnny went on to find fame in super-group Electronic before eventually joining both Modest Mouse and The Cribs respectively as a semi-permanent member, performing on and touring at least one record with both acts. Somewhere in between all of this, with a fleeting appearance as a member of The The, Marrs first foray into solo territory began – a debut record from Johnny Marr & The Healers. Now, 10 years on – and this time sans The Healers, Marr returns with his most accomplished work to date. Marr has also guested on recordings by the Pet Shop Boys, John Frusciante, Talking Heads and Beck.
EXHIBITION
Rough Trade East are pleased to announce an exhibition by Johnny Marr. The exhibition entitled 'The Messenger' will include unseen images, handwritten lyrics and notes by Johnny Marr along with a collection of his guitar picks.
The show will run from Tuesday 5th February until Sunday 3rd March.
SIGNING SESSION
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN IN-STORE SIGNING ONLY. YOU WILL HAVE TO QUEUE UP ON THE DAY TO GET YOUR RECORD SIGNED, PURCHASING ON LINE DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL GET A SIGNED COPY. We're requesting that you only ask for Johnny Marr’s new album ‘The Messenger’ to be signed at this event (not any previous releases or merchandise). As this is going to be really busy we'd appreciate your help in making this event special and stress free.

We have a print from the exhibition to giveaway that will be personally signed by Johnny Marr at the signing session held at Rough Trade East on Thursday 28th February as well as a FENDER SQUIER® VINTAGE MODIFIED JAGUAR® in Olympic White guitar. For your chance to win, all you have to do is email [email protected] with the answer to the following question...
