All Roads Lead To All Points East

All Roads Lead To All Points East

The first festival of the year for me was All Points East. A last-minute decision to head down meant I didn't get to spend as much time at Victoria Park as I'd have wanted, but I packed the hours I did have with some great music. The weekend lineups were quite a bit...

UK Foo Fighters: The Dream That Came True

UK Foo Fighters haven’t put out a single album of their work. In fact, they don’t even perform their own work. They're a tribute band of a group that still tour worldwide and sell out stadiums – the mighty Foo Fighters. And yet, they manage to sell out venues across...

The Struts Bring Manchester To The Boil

The Struts Bring Manchester To The Boil

The blisters have healed. My voice has gone back to normal. And my neck no longer hurts every time I move. It's only taken three weeks for my body to go back to normal after seeing The Struts in a tiny Manchester club called Gorilla. That's because these fine young...

Stone Free Festival In Photographs

Not every music lover is automatically an outdoor festival goer. The idea of seeing different bands over a weekend might be appealing, but the prospect of torrential rain, mud, temperatures of 30 degrees, or sleeping in a tent can be enough to stop people from going...

Roger Hodgson: Over Oslo

Roger Hodgson: Over Oslo

Roger Hodgson ('the voice of Supertramp' as the tagline on his tour posters reminds you) tends to play one or two shows a year in the UK - normally in May at the Royal Albert Hall. I make it an annual pilgrimage, as I love the music and I love the man. This year, the...

The Darkness Out Of The Shadows

The Darkness Out Of The Shadows

Last week I was lucky enough to photograph The Hollywood Vampires, featuring Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp. With such a star-studded cast, it's no surprise that they occupied the majority of the RockShot photography real estate. But (shhh... don't tell...

Bastille @ The O2 (Louise Phillips)

Good Grief, Bastille Show No Bad Blood At The O2 Arena

Tonight was a night of reflection. Of celebration. Fifteen years in, Bastille sound as good, and appeal to more people than ever. The fourth time the London band have played the biggest arena in the capital and they feel at home on this stage this size, with their visuals, their anthems and their devout relationship with their fans, they belong here.

Amy Macdonald @ Hammersmith Apollo (Kalpesh Patel)

Amy Macdonald Warms A Frozen Hammersmith Apollo With Heart, Humour & Huge Hits

“Are we having a nice time so far? Are we getting a bit warmer?” Amy Macdonald grins, peering out at a Hammersmith Apollo audience bundled into coats and scarves. It’s a question that becomes a running joke throughout the night — because despite the November chill and the decidedly frugal heating, Macdonald sets about warming the 5,000-capacity venue the only way she knows how: with humour, heart, and a powerhouse performance that leaves no seat unshaken.

Bad Nerves @ O2 Institute, Birmingham (Nick Allan)

Never Mind A Wet Night In Stoke, Bad Nerves Made The Best Of A Cold Tuesday Night At The O2 Institute Birmingham

Bad Nerves rolled into theBad Nerves tonight armed with a setlist built for chaos, and although the room was a little quieter than expected, the people who were there lit the place up. A smaller Tuesday night crowd didn’t dull the spark – instead it made the gig feel like a secret show shared only between the band and the diehards. And the band fed off it.
