PHOTO EXHIBITION CELEBRATING SOME OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AND CREATIVE FEMALE SINGERS. 7 MARCH 2012 AT THE STRAND GALLERY, LONDON WC2

Opening at the Strand Gallery, London WC2, 7 March 2012 is an innovative Photo Exhibition, She Bop A Lula. The Exhibition will feature 60 fabulous pictures celebrating some of the most successful and creative female singers over the last six decades, from Lady Day (Billie Holiday) to Lady Gaga.

 The photographs, all taken by women photographers, will be a mix of candid and intimate backstage scenes, sensitive and stylised portraits through to the excitement and raw power of live performance. Singers featured include Dusty Springfield, Ella Fitzgerald, Janis Joplin, Dolly Parton, Madonna, Nina Simone, Debbie Harry, Patti Smith, Diana Ross, PJ Harvey, Sinead O'Connor, Annie Lennox, Jessie J, Beyonce, Adele and many more!

 The Exhibition is supporting Breakthrough, the UK's leading Breast Cancer Charity, which undertakes vital research into a disease that affects 1 in 8 women. All the women photographers in the Exhibition have generously donated their work for free and 100% of sales will go to Breakthrough. All prints will be available to purchase at £200 with signed prints by some of the singers including the late Amy Winehouse, donated by Jill Furmanovsky, on offer at auction.

 The organiser of the Exhibition, Dede Millar, comments that the idea behind the exhibition is that in the history of popular music women are often sidelined.  She Bop A Lula will highlight the talent of women performers, as well as being a showcase for women photographers.

 Come and enjoy the She Bop A Lula experience at the Strand Gallery during March. Admission is free.
