So why is Harry Diamond not better known?Harry Diamond was born in Mile End in 1924. He worked for two decades as a scene-shifter in West End theatres before theatre​ photographer Michael Peto encouraged him to take up a camera. His black-and-white analogue​ photography of Soho and Whitechapel, developed from 1968 to the 1990s, reflects an intuitive,​ emotionally charged approach to framing, reflecting the sweet highs and lows of an east ender who lived for jazz. Ronnie Scott took Harry on as a floorman, cleaner, bouncer and doorman at his club. From the floor Harry snapped his jazz idols, including Duke Ellington : “People ask me if I believe in God, right? Well I photographed him didn’t I!".Maria Andrews is a community film maker and videographer born in Stepney in the 1970s. She is in her second year of the PhD Harry Diamond : the archive as a maze of masks. This is the first collaborative PhD between the National Portrait Gallery and Central Saint Martins School of Art, which focuses on contextualising an archive of 20,000 negatives of Diamond’s work, prints and ephemera held at the National Portrait Gallery.This talk is part of Four Corners' A World Apart exhibition events programme. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/harry-diamonds-east-end-blues/100001972542762502 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, art, music, exhibitions, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Four Corners - **lat**: 51.528828 - **long**: -0.04866900000001806 - **full address**: Four Corners, 121 Roman Road, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Harry Diamond's East End Blues - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/1a7ac1257f316fc2c07e10a3accc35dc3dde440bbec83138ea6e6fa64e13279a-rimg-w1200-h814-dca8a8a8-gmir.jpg?v=1763383245 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Harry Diamond's East End Blues being held? - **A:** Harry Diamond's East End Blues takes place on Thu, 04 Dec, 2025 at 06:30 pm to Thu, 04 Dec, 2025 at 08:00 pm at Four Corners, 121 Roman Road, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Harry Diamond's East End Blues? - **A:** Harry Diamond's East End Blues is organized by Four Corners. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
