Kalpesh Patel

I’m a London-based photographer and writer specialising in live music photography, portraits and concert reviews. I also love travel photography and snowboarding, so have managed to damage a fair amount of equipment trying to shoot while boarding or hanging off cliffs! I shoot gigs as often as I can, I drink coffee every day.

Nicola Greenbrook

Nicola is a freelance music, fashion and lifestyle writer based in East London and has her own website: Nicola Greenbrook. Nicola and her music partner in crime Rosie Kendrick have also created and host a fabulous music podcast Pause and Play It Forward, which you can check out here.

Nils Van der Linden

For a laugh, Nils van der Linden started writing about music in 1997. He forgot to stop.

Paul Lyme

Unable to play a musical instrument. Or sing. So he sticks to the closest place he can be to the action. In the photo pit with his camera.

Sarah Sievers

Sarah is an American transplant in London, a screen and comedy writer and occasional producer. She was first introduced to the joy of music when her Grandma bought her a copy of Combat Rock by The Clash. Sarah has wildly eclectic taste but a special interest in alt rock and alt country.

Simon Reed

I am a music, event and portrait photographer, shooting pictures mainly in London and on the South coast. I tend to like bands with guitars – they move about more. When I’m not photographing music, I write about it and sometimes conduct the odd interview. Also in occasional spare moments, I control air traffic and walk Zebedee, Florence and Dougal, the springerdoodles.

Pauline Di Silvestro

Pauline is a London-based music photographer from Brussels. Brought up in the punk rock scene, she’s most likely to be found in dark and sweaty clubs.

White Lies Illuminate The Roundhouse On Night Two Of Their Hometown Return
