“The Nashville Rooms was a big, grotty room at the back of the Greyhound pub on Fulham Palace Road. It was a music mecca for about five years and was where many bands including the Sex Pistols and The Police got some of their first shows, and this was an early gig for The Pretenders. I hadn’t been commissioned to photograph them, but I was curious about the band as there was a real buzz about them. I like this photo for its structure and light as much as for Chrissie’s pose. It was recently republished by a US magazine, accompanied by Chrissie’s memories. Although she could no longer remember where her Gibson SG guitar had vanished to, she did recall that she was wearing her plastic Fiorucci trousers that night.” David Corio
