Samuels is brilliant, his book Northerners is a classic

I met Sefton once in my day job. He was a prolific music photographer, particularly in the jazz scene.

A thoroughly nice bloke as well.

Sefton was/is a mad blue (he’s 90 now iirc)
I think he should be shown more love by our people. An amazing talent and one of us
