Readers who happen to be in central London with half an hour to spare will be interested in two free Dylan exhibitions very near Trafalgar Square, the heart of London’s tourist district.
Hard Rain is a travelling open air exhibition (ie viewable 24/7) mounted on the Courtyard railings of St Martin-in-the-Fields church, juxtaposing each line of Dylan’s classic song with a striking photograph illustrating “Our Headlong Collision With Nature”. It closes on 13 December.
The project is documented in a book of the same name, by Mark Edwards; the third edition is on sale (discounted) in the shop in the Crypt, in normal retail hours.

If you visit Hard Rain in normal gallery hours, you can also pop across the road to the National Portrait Gallery to view the small exhibition of Barry Feinstein Dylan photographs, Real Moments.
If you can make half a day for it, so much the better: the National Portrait Gallery has a breathtaking permanent collection, too.

And, from one of the newsagents in the area, why not pick up a copy of the new issue of UNCUT, which has yet another Dylan cover feature?
In central London at the moment, Dylan’s everywhere…
