The performance was kept short and sweet, which meant I was permanently on my toes, whipping round to get those all important ‘in the moment’ shots.  It was great to hear some new sounds from the band, and catch a few unexpected additions of Ellie’s performance to the lapping it up crowd…lets just say, monolopy’s not just for playing at home.
This is the launch of Slashed Seat Affair’s new EP, visit their site for more info on this fantastic band….  www.slashedseataffair.co.uk

It was certainly a packed out venue for the launch of SSA’s EP; I could barely make my way to the front of the stage!
I did manage to though, and was blown away by the energetic, full bodied performance by the stunning Ellie on lead vocals, and the perfect combination of Darren, Noel and Rob who accompany her to make up this edgy JUST BEEN SIGNED band that we know by the name of Slashed Seat Affair!
Just a teaser for now, but come back to see more photos soon….

When I first saw that Monte Carlo were playing at Aylesbury’s Hobble on the Cobble I was excited as I had previously heard them when they were ‘Fluid Lines’ and was eager to hear if they had changed anything else…
Their sound was still as energetic and capturing as it was and their new name reflects their new approach, regardless of the limitless stories they’ve told different people about the real reason for their name change; I was silly enough to fall for one of them – thanks Calum!
Their cheeky smiles …

Kajagoogoo arrived backstage to Hobble on the Cobble, swarmed by an army of a crowd awaiting their turn to get a glimpse of the band.  They were slightly jaded by time, but still have the attitudes of young hungry rockers.
The expectant crowd were not disappointed as they walked on the stage. They were met by a exuberant cheer as they started their set.
Terry and I were limited to the first two songs (one short of the standard three) so it did add a bit of pressure to get worthy photos. …

I recently went to an event in Aylesbury which had a few bands playing in an outside popular music venue, Kingsbury Square.  Luckily, I decided to take my D90 with me, as if I had not, I would have missed capturing this energetic, powerful voice and soul of what I can only describe as a rising star, the magnificently talented; Olivia.
Your comments on this post would be much appreciated.

On a recent Friday afternoon, when I wanted to do something exciting – I heard the Red Bullets were playing at a The Mitre in Buckingham.  So I went along, and I’m so glad I did.  As usual – they blew me away! They also played a new song which they will be performing at an upcoming gig in Northampton, May 14th!  I hope to see you all there, as I will definitely be going to hear their new stuff!
please leave comments and opinions below…. (any favourites? dislikes? let me …

The Red Bullets have recently been touring the Alps, so when I heard they were home and playing their first gig back in the UK in Buckingham, I was down there in a shot! I have had the pleasure the photograph The Red Bullets fairly regularly, recently at The Stables Theatre in Milton Keynes late last year before they flew off to another country – if I could have followed them I would!
I love the energy that The Red Bullets bring to a performance, they never falter and keep the crowd at …

Watching The Red Bullets perform again was a fantastic opportunity! The gig sold out so quickly they had to release standing tickets, and the crowd came from parts all over the country. I am always astounded by their performance each time I see them, thinking I know what to expect having seen them perform a few times now, but EVERY time I am proven wrong. The Red Bullets give it everything they’ve got for every song of their gigs, and then… they give a bit more! It’s …
