Reflecting on the launch of the exhibition, Webster said: “It was a lifetime ago, when I was just a young person, doing photography.
“I would’ve been astounded to know I’m still exhibiting my work from that time. And obviously, especially this one of Tony Wilson.”
Reflecting on the memory of the era, Webster’s view felt not too dissimilar to Wilson’s own take on nostalgia.
“It’s just, it’s a moment in time that it’s gone,” Webster said. “And unfortunately, Tony Wilson is not here with us anymore.
“But that vibe of Manchester with Oasis, Joy Division – and everything else that was born through the Hacienda and Tony Wilson – that lives on.”
“And these pictures will just show that moment.”
‘Tony Wilson: A Portrait of Manchester’ runs 9 April to 20 May.
