'The Fifties and Sixties were a time when us working-class folk all had nothing and little to no chance of getting anything. We were all equal in our nothingness but at least we could dream of escaping our poverty, of winning the pools, or being bigger than Elvis! I trust that some of these images capture that feeling.' – Mike McCartney
'I love this picture. It really shows them as they were - as friends, being silly.' - Mike McCartney

'I'd learned from my books that in photography you have to take control and tell your subjects what to do. So, I told them to look at the light bulb on my count. You can see two got it right. Imagine the one-and-only John Lennon doing what you told him to! How about that as an interesting concept?' - Mike McCartney
