Ever since David Bowie Is… at the V&A in 2013, there is a sense that we are in something of a golden age for music-related museum shows.
Last year's Rolling Stones show at the Saatchi was a killer. And with yesterday's news from the press launch at the V&A for the Pink Floyd exhibition, Their Mortal Remains (opening 13th May 2017), it looks like the trend is set to continue.
Yesterday's publicity event was full of exciting announcements – not least that the UFO Club, the Tottenham Court Road venue where the Floyd became the de facto house band of the underground scene here in the capital, is to be recreated for the show.
I was personally very pleased to hear that entry to the exhibition space will be through a replica of the battered old Bedford van in which the young Floyd toured the country. Why so pleased? Because the van makes a cameo appearance in my Rock & Roll London Comic Book starring Pink Floyd…
