"William Ellis' exquisite portrait of Stan Tracey is a timeless classic."

Jon Newey, Editor Jazzwise

"Like the musicians he photographs William Ellis has paid his dues; long years of photographing festivals and local events up and down England honed his talents and gave him a taste for performance photography."

The One LP Project

"Great Project" - Graham Nash

The One LP world premiere exhibition was held in New York at The ARChive of Contemporary Music and was featured in Time Out New York.
See the One LP project..

“The ARChive is not a presenting organization, but were were so impressed by Mr. Ellis’ work that we hosted our first gallery exhibition and presented his photographs here in New York. It was a resounding success, with hundreds of visitors.”
Bob George – Co-Founder and Director of the ARChive of Contemporary Music

Jack Bruce talks about his One LP

"It's called “L'ascension” by Olivier Messiaen who was a French composer I have loved for most of my life. Why I love his compositions is he shows that music has always existed. Humans only stole it. We borrowed it but it's in nature. It holds the universe together; ask any skylark or ask any blackbird they'll tell you."
Band on the Wall, Manchester
