Ever wondered what Kings Cross was like before the lights were turned off by the big man?

 

Rennie Ellis‘ photographic observation of Kings X life in the 70s is just that, with Hells Angel’s tatted up women, show girls and a foreign look into what that infamous strip once held. Best part? The full collection of work is on show now for FREE at Mossgreen Gallery from the 8th of May to the 2nd of June.

 

We also find out that Carlotta is a piss pot and the star — we can relate Carlotta, well to the first part at least.
