I really needed this.To go to a gig in a venue full of like-minded people who want to Unfuck the World (as the Prophets of Rage say) was a very cathartic experience! Shouting obscenities against injustice as loud as I can, jumping around with all my might and everyone else doing the same… such a…
Last night I was back in the photo pit for another politically charged gig, what a sign of the times.I don’t honestly know where to start because it was just amazing. If you are not aware Prophets of Rage are the combined talents and energy of Tom, Timmy C and Brad of Rage Against The…
Obviously I had to catch Maxïmo Park on their recent tour off the back of the new album Risk to Exist.They always pick a great support band and the all woman line up of PINS kept with this tradition. Apart from when actually taking pictures, I didn’t stop dancing all night. I paid for it…
This was something a little bit different for me, Disorder magazine asked me along to a shoot and session with Unsigned Music Award winner Malaika. Such an interesting afternoon, in The Hubble Room of The Astronomer pub there were many outfit changes, a lot of chatting and music of course! You can find the Disorder SoundCheck session…
For many years I was fortunate enough to have a friendly, family run, music festival within walking distance from my home in South Woodham Ferrers near Chelmsford. It is where I cut my festival photography teeth, at Brownstock! I have some incredible memories and made so many friends.Here is a very small selection of photographs…
I’m breaking my blog silence (such a busy summer) with A Peaceful Noise. The wonderful event was organised by the family of Nick Alexander, the Eagles of Death Metal merchandise manager who lost his life that fateful night in the Bataclan a year ago. It was an utterly joyous occasion, honestly I’ve never laughed so…
The other day I found myself on a bus having a chat about the state of politics with Tim Commerford from Rage Against The Machine, as you do. Timmy C is currently a member of the Prophets of Rage and WAKRAT and this little excursion to Parliament Square was for a music video that has just…
It was great to catch up with Dojo recently for a shoot, it had been a while since I last photographed them supporting Lee “Scratch” Perry at the Jazz cafe last year! What a great gig that was. With new music from Dojo this year I’m sure it will be another excellent year for them!
Write a review. Well, how objective can I be? As the lyrics say… not very is the answer.I am completely biased as Maxïmo Park I have seen live more times than any other band. I can’t decide why. I think it’s because it’s excellent pop indie rock that you can bounce around like a lunatic…
Well I had the absolute honour of photographing Wilko Johnson’s comeback gig in aid of Addenbrooke’s hospital… a thank you for saving his life. It’s a day I’ll never forget; such a talented, intelligent and intriguing man.Support came from Eight Rounds Rapid, with his son Simon Johnson on guitar.
