Those quiffs, the clothes, the crazy times, man... Music fans with a nostalgic bent should beat a path to the National Portrait Gallery from Friday, where they will be treated to more than 50 classic images of British pop stars, caught in elegant repose by leading photographers including Jill Furmanovsky and Brian Aris. Seminal warblers such as Cliff Richard, Sandie Shaw, Helen Shapiro (right), The Beatles, David Bowie, The Clash and Duran Duran come face to face with contemporary images of pop stardom, including Robbie Williams, Jarvis Cocker and Cerys from Catatonia. Just count those pouts ...

Photography Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, St Martin's Place, London WC2 (0171-306 0055) Fri to 19 September
