From Oscar Wilde and Noel Coward to Derek Jarman and Sam Taylor-Wood, using images from the Pet Shop Boys’ two decades of pop and photographs from the National Portrait Gallery’s archive, Hoare will discuss Pet Shop Boys, art and literature. Catch the essential PSB exhibition in the neighbouring gallery at the same time.
Also at the NPG on Thursday, January 11th, 2007, at 7pm, Neil Tennant will discuss the creation of the Pet Shop Boys’ image and their work with leading photographers with Philip Hoare and Michael Bracewell, the writer and cultural commentator, author of “The Nineties: When Surface was Depth”.

Click on the links below to rediscover this underrated song and also the cheeky video for “Love Is Everywhere”. Both tracks were produced by us in the early 90s.
