Mel Bush was a legendary concert promoter in the 1970's and 80's. He promoted such infamous concerts as Bowie's Aladdin Sane tour (where Ziggy 'retired'), Queen's early tours and Led Zeppelin at Earls Court.

With each of the acts he promoted, once a successful tour or concert was over, Mel Bush would commission a commemorative plaque or mirror as a souvenir of the event. Usually these would be presented to the artist, with an additional one kept in his own personal archive.

This item has remained in the archive for 32 years but now that Mel is semi-retired, he has decided to part with his treasured archive of mirrors and plaques and we have been enlisted to help him find good homes for his collection. Each item from the archive will be accompanied by a signed letter from Mel detailing its origins and confirming its authenticity.

The design of the mirror is as follows

The huge mirror is a landscape design. It measures 39"x27" including the frame. The mirror dates back to 1976 (when it was commissioned) but the frame is a much more recent replacement.
The design screen printed onto the mirror is a reproduction of the poster that originally advertised the event. The title of the festival is along the top in blue and red lettering. December 31st line-up is printed down the left hand side in red, January 1st line-up is printed down the middle in blue and January 2/3rd are printed on the right hand side in black.
In addition to the band names, the venue details, ticket prices and brokers details are printed along the bottom.

An eye-catching item and a rare piece of music memorabilia with historical interest.
