The exhibition called "More Than Two Tones" is the brainchild of Coventry Music Historian Pete Chambers, who has long campaigned for Coventry to embelish its rich musical history with a museum.

Running from October 3rd until January 3rd, the Exhibition showcases all that is good in Coventry music over the years with many exhibits including Jerry Dammers suit, Mick Roberts from King's Doc Martens, the badge used on Blue Peter when the City 1987 FA Cup side were on and even a football from Soccer Am presented to The Enemy.
Music from the 1950's until the present day and even future Coventry bands are featured in this exhibition which is well worth a visit.
The exhibition was opened by Pete Chambers and the head of the board of Trustees of the Herbert Art Gallery and included a big list of local celebrities from the vibrant Coventry music scene.

Those in attendance which included fans of many genres of music were first treated to a set from the talent that is Kristy Gallagher.
Then back came the Primitives for their first gig in Coventry since 1987. Fronted by the enigmatic Tracy Tracy, they produced a stunning ten song set, dedicated to the late Steve Dullaghan, which included their hits "Way Behind Me", "Crash", "Sick Of It" and "Stop Killing Me."
