The Enemy Picture Sold At Auction


Although it was back in 2009, this picture of The Enemy still remains as one of the best. It helped raise money for charity and highlighted a good cause,as seen HERE.

“This is the only photo shoot we’ve ever done where we like how we look. It felt a shame to have to deface the print! But getting the chance to work with Youth Music was great. It’s something we all feel is very close to our hearts, giving kids the chance they might not get otherwise to pick up an instrument and have a go.”  - Tom Clarke

VIDEO: Tom Clarke Talks About The Early Gigs


Politics & Society from Herbert Media on Vimeo.

Earlier this year, Coventry's Herbert Art Gallery celebrated Coventry's rich musical heritage, from Frank Ifield to The Enemy. The exhibition brought together for the first time a fantastic selection of music memorabilia which highlighted the vibrancy and creativity of Coventry music. In the video above, Tom Clarke and John Dawkins talked about chavs and the early gigs.

For many people the pinnacle of the city's musical success came with Two Tone, when the Specials and the Selecter created a distinctive sound which reached an international audience. Yet, Coventry has produced many other talented and successful artists, from the Zodiacs, Frank Ifield and Vince Hill, through the Sorrows, the Mighty Avengers and Lieutenant Pigeon, to Hazel O' Connor, King and current chart successes, The Enemy.
