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.

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.

The Nocturnal Affair @ The Asylum, Birmingham (Henry Finnegan / @finneganfoto)

The Nocturnal Affair Light Up The Asylum, Birmingham Supporting Fearless Vampire Killers & Wednesday 13

There’s something beautifully ironic about a band named The Nocturnal Affair igniting a venue like Birmingham’s Asylum before the sun has even fully set. On a night where gothic grandeur met sweltering heat, the Las Vegas dark rock outfit delivered a set that was as emotionally rich as it was musically explosive, proving themselves more than worthy support for Fearless Vampire Killers and the master of macabre himself, Wednesday 13.
