Stephen Wright recalls: "Oddly The Smiths played at event which was part of a series of shows organised by Factory records when they had never signed with them. Morrissey half-stripped in front of an audience of thousands, and at least one shirt he threw to them was torn to pieces."

Stephen Wright recalls: "This is my favourite Morrissey photo - it is classic young Morrissey. The front stage area at the concert was like a massive rugby scrum, so there was no chance of getting photos. I climbed into the rigging on the side of the stage and hid. I could only afford one reel of film and had to walk home. This was a long way from digital cameras with hundreds of shots on a card! This and the Bum and flowers photo were shot the first time I got to shoot the Smiths and led to the Queen is Dead album sleeve session."

A strange shot but most people at the time knew who it was immediately - Morrissey had toured throwing gladioli around on the 1984 shows Ive always hoped Levis would pay me lots to use it as an advert. Sadly not happened yet! Voted one of NME best rock photos of all time by the NME also used in NME Warchild exhibition.
