“Bunny Wailer was the most enigmatic of The Wailers. He left the original line-up partly because he disliked touring, so I was excited when I heard he was coming to London – it was a show not to be missed. I got the chance to photograph him in Notting Hill a few days after the concert and when I met him, I told him we were going to shoot outside. He was a little unhappy about that as he didn’t want to bring attention to himself. He was dressed conspicuously, wearing a full camouflage outfit, set off by a long red, gold and green scarf and matching headband decorated with a brass lion’s head. Oddly enough, nobody batted an eyelid.” David Corio
