About Us

After 25 years running a gift and picture framing shop, owner Tris Murray decided to take the plunge and transform Worldly Wicked and Wise in Salusbury road from gifts to gallery, opening in early 2020 with a photographic retrospective of music in the area, over the years: Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane, The Beatles, The Who, Bowie etc at The Gaumont state, Kilburn; The Clash, The Slits 1st gig, on The Clash’s 1st tour at The Harlesden Coliseum; Misty In Roots, Pogue Mahone at The Tropical Palace, Kensal Rise; Johnny Cash, Van Morrisson at The Mean Fiddler.. He spent months researching photographs by the likes of David Redfern, Ian Dickson, David Corio and Norman Reid, who shot the images of Jimmy Cliff that close the show.

Subsequent exhibitors have included photographers David Corio, Geoff MacCormack & Peter Gravelle; + iconic Jamaican artist Rudi Patterson, amongst many others.
