I Think He’s Going To Do Well
One of the things I’ve done badly is keeping this blog up to date, so with that in mind and since it’s Throwback Thursday I thought I’d go way back to 2008 and share a photograph of a young Jewish rapper I caught at The Pressure Point in Brighton during the Great Escape Festival. I […]
6 Reasons 2014 is Going to be Awesome For Music
 live at Beached 2012_4338-310x150.jpg)
Well 2013 has been and gone and for various reasons I’m glad to see the back of it. I didn’t cover anywhere near as many shows as I would normally (less than 30 last year) but on the plus side I’ve seen some great bands that I’m really looking forward to seeing more of in […]
Federal Charm Live at The Roadhouse
A few months ago I was covering a Lauren Housely show at Antwerp Mansion in Manchester. I work closely with Toast Recordings so couldn’t wait to see what the First Animals on Toast Night was going to be like. Given that it was a launch night it was a pretty subdued evening, at least until support […]
Maximo Park live at HMV Ritz, Manchester, 2012-11-06
Hmmm, my last post was in March last year and was apologising for the lack of posts… Not a great track record I know, and it’s not as if there hasn’t been anything to tell you about. I’ve spent the last eighteen months or so covering and working with some amazing talent but it has […]
Quarterly Update
First let me apologise for the lack of posts recently, this time last year there was an absence of posts because I hadn’t been doing much shooting. This year it’s (happily) the opposite problem; I’ve been shooting so much my feet have hardly touched the ground. I’ll do some more in depth posts again soon but here’s a quick catch up.
Prints Now Available
If you’ve been itching to hang one of my live music photographs on your wall or if you know someone that has a print sized gap waiting to be filled you’ll be glad to know you can now order prints direct from the archive. Either browse the galleries which are organised by band, festival and […]
Run Toto Run live at The Deaf Institute 25-11-2010
One of the things I love about concert photography is watching bands develop and grow over time. Seeing the contrast from those first nervy performances when bands dip their toe in performing live to the confident hall filling performances. Run Toto Run might not be filling the big venues yet but based on tonight’s performance […]
A Tale of Two Performances
I was back in Manchester last Thursday, shooting another show for Counterfeit Mag. Kele Okereke was playing at The Ritz with support from up and coming laptop-twiddlers D/R/U/G/S, and I was struck by the difference in the two performances. Don’t get me wrong, this is the second time I’ve seen D/R/U/G/S in a matter of […]
It’s been a while
With one thing and another it’s been a while since I’ve updated the blog. A big part of this was being based in not so sunny Telford which made getting to any decent gigs more of a challenge than I had the energy for exceptional cases when the effort was worth it (such as the […]
gate io en france
Once upon a time it was slashdot that could bring fledgling websites and internet services to their needs by triggering an unexpected surge in interest. These days it’s the high-profile twitterati that can overload a server in hours. A couple of days ago this is exactly what happened to new music service mflow thanks to […]
