John ‘Hoppy’ Hopkins Photographic Book ‘From The Hip’
A name that will always come up in a conversation about the 1960’s underground music scene will be ‘Hoppy’, or otherwise known as John Hopkins. Working as a photojournalist between 1960 and 1966 and later on co-founded the underground International Times IT, he promoted Pink Floyd and, together with music producer Joe Boyd, started London’s first psychedelic club, UFO.
Lee has recently supported the publication of the volume ‘From The Hip – Photographs by John “Hoppy” Hopkins 1960-66’ that has fans of Hoppy and new viewers begging for more. Featuring famous pictures of music icons of the era and protests scenes from anti-nuclear walks, Hopkins has captured a moment in time in each of his subjects eyes.
