So, after weeks of secret planning, emails & hushed conversations; I’m stoked to announce that I’m going on tour! I’ll be the Official Tour Photographer for the guys in ‘Dorje’ on their first UK tour in June as they rock their way up and down the UK from Glasgow to Guilford! […]
So then.. it’s 2012. I thought I’d just take five minutes for a little reflection on the past year. It was this time last year that I decided to give live music photography a try. I had a camera sitting around that I didn’t really use and I suppose I […]
‘The Engine Rooms’ in Skelmersdale is a refurbished warehouse, dedicated to music & arts tuition for the local youth. A bar, café, recording studios, tuition rooms and a stage area etc.. it’s exactly the kind of thing I’d have killed for as a kid in Skem. Decent enough lighting and […]

I decided to take full advantage of a booze and BBQ filled Bank Holiday weekend to go and watch a band I’d heard a lot of good things about. ‘The Hicks’ are a 3 piece from Wigan who’ve been getting excellent reviews everywhere I looked, plus I’d already heard their […]
