An amazing friend of the Archives @BishopsgateInst has donated every copy of the legendary Drummer magazine! I can’t say how chuffed we are! Perhaps the only full run in the UK?

A black and white photograph of what looks like a large living room space. There is the corner of a sofa in the bottom left corner of the frame, an iron candle chandelier and a collection of trinkets in the right of the frame. In the centre of the room, a person wearing a dark jumpsuit poses in the spotlight created by two pieces of photography lighting equipment.
