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.

Hey Violet @ The Garage (Kalpesh Patel)

Josh Weathers (Press)

Josh Weathers: Texas Country Soul And Keeping Music Human

There’s something reassuringly old-school about Josh Weathers. Not in the nostalgic, trying-to-recreate-the-past sense, but in the fact that for Weathers, music still seems to be about people in a room actually playing it.
