Walkie Talkie in the rain.

Richard Wyatt

I won’t let constant and heavy rain stop me taking an early morning stroll but l was humming a favourite song of mine along the way – one with local connections!

The two images of Peter Gabriel – shown in that ‘walkie talkie’ – were taken by celebrity photographer Clive Arrowsmith in 1978 after Peter Gabriel asked him to come down to Bath to take some shots in unusual places!

They formed part of an exhibition – called Peter Gabriel Reflections – held at the Museum of Bath Architecture over the winter of 2018/19.

  1. Thanks Richard, made my day watching that great video and hearing the words!

  2. Excellent video, featuring a Moulton bicycle, keeping it local. (If you need to ask the price then you can’t afford one.) 🙂
