This man’s guitar playing is astonishing. Just take a few moments to listen to this. It will amaze you.

Lost Minute performance at Kingsbury, Aylesbury.

Even though the clouds and rain could not dampen the the Lost Minute lads, Adam, Danny and Sandy. I popped by to show my support and took a few shots while I was there with a combination of my trusty 24-70mm and awesome 50mm Nikon lenses.

NBS perform at The Aristocrat, Aylesbury.

NBS asked gigphotographer to photograph their band when they came to play in Aylesbury.  They specifically wanted some posed shots and some ‘caught in the action’ shots in their two sets.
I had heard them play once before, and to say that my ears enjoyed it would probably sum it up pretty well! My ears were ringing for AGES after the gig! Yes….I should invest in some ear plugs.
This time round, I was excited to see a full set and again, it was very pleasing! They pounded out the first song …

10P Short play an intimate showpiece in Aylesbury.

Feels like home

I received an invite a week ago asking if I could go to a friend’s house and watch a Guilford based band called 10P Short gig in their living room.  A link was provided to the band’s MySpace page and I listened to their tracks. I was impressed.
Packing to photograph in a small arena
I thought about packing light, but I knew the lighting quality in the typical living room would be poor at best, so I took out my Nikon D3. Also I knew I would be in …

Family fun day at Aylesbury Vale Park

From time to time, I get a call to photograph a worthy event, and it gives me a break from Weddings, Gigs and Portraits. This was the case with the Family Fun day. It is a totally free event for all the local families. I had a fabulous time and it looks like another successful year for the Organizers. I’m sure it will go from strength to strength.
Photographing an open air event presents it’s own challenges; you have to be more vigilant when looking for something unique in a place …

The Red Bullets play to fans at Hobble 09

Without doubt, The Red Bullets are one of my favourite bands and that goes for signed bands too!
The lead singer Peter Edwards has earned his place as the band’s front man. Even though he sits down during the set that doesn’t mean we can take our eyes off him for a minute! Equally Pete’s brother Mark on the drums is a force to be reckoned with. I once made the mistake of playing on his drums, let’s just say he playfully suggested I stick to photography. Then there’s Mark Wheeler, …

Red Bullets. The ultimate group photo?

It’s getting late but before I hit the sack I wanted to share this with you. I don’t know what inspired me to stand at the exit of the stage but it felt like a good idea. It just so happened our good friends The Red Bullets were just coming off stage. Pete came off first so it was natural for me to take just one photo of him coming off. But then after Pete was Mark, then Kyle. Wheeler was still on stage putting some kit away. I needed …

The Original Sinners. The Old Skool shows the new kids how it’s done at Hobble

I love it when something surprises you with something totally unexpected. Take this band who call themselves The Original Sinners. That is quite a name (and reputation) to live up to. Now take into consideration the members of this band look like they are very close friends with Mr Jack Daniels!
It’s not often that I’m surprised, but I certainly enjoy it when I am. The Original Sinners came on and just blasted Aylesbury with a wall of sound, when the crowd picked themselves up they were presented with an onslaught …

Claire Batchelor playing on the acoustic stage, Hobble 2009

Claire is one of those talented musicians who is also a bit of a perfectionist, but this reflects in her performances on a lazy Sunday afternoon in the middle of Aylesbury. Without drama or pretension, she played through her set like an artist who had been perfecting her act up until the last minute; fine tuning every little bit she could.
Behind stage, she was as bubbly and engaging as ever. She will always greet you with a warm smile, and be the first to be support of other artists. GigPhotographer …
