Live Review: Guilfest 2014.
It was great to see Guilfest back in 2014, the crowd and performers seemed to be so ready for it, I had never attended but had heard how much fun the Festival was so I was looking forward to be there. As soon as I arrived I felt welcomed and everything was running...
Live: Grace Jones @ Hop Farm Music Festival
It was Hop Farm’s first year without Vince’s Power behind the promoting, but a quirky family orientated approach supplied by Neil Butkeraitis' new organisation and plenty of festival charm and great headliners in Grace Jones, Brian Wilson and Ray Davies. Echo and the...

Live Review: Drive By Truckers @ The Empire.
I had never seen Georgia based band Drive By Truckers before, and I was extremely excited to photograph and experience a night of live music at Shepherds Bush Empire. The band's music dates back three decades now and I spent the days prior to the show catching up on...

Live Review: Natalie Merchant @ Milton Court Hall
“Are you making a movie or taking a photo?” Natalie Merchant asks a member of the seated audience. “I hope it’s pretty,” she laughs in response to their answer. “I've never seen a photo taken of someone from five feet below them that wasn't worth deleting!” This light...
Live Review: Ben Harper @ The Palladium
The Palladium is best known for hosting musical theatre and televised variety shows, so catching an acoustic show by Ben Harper at the venue feels a little incongruous. He feels the same way, it transpires. A few songs into the show he apologises for wearing denim in...
