At the end of last month I finally got to experience one of the most talked about bands in metal this year – Steel Panther. They were opening up the ZZ Top show at Wolverhampton Civic Hall which I was lucky enough to be given a photopass for to cover it for The Daily Dust. [...]

This is Ryan and I met up with him a few weeks ago for a portrait session in my home village of Bulkington. Ryan is looking to break into the world of performing arts and wanted some shots to attach to his CV when applying for roles. I used to play football with his eldest [...]

They may not be a band I’d choose to listen to, but the chance to photograph Bloc Party was too good to miss when they played Birmingham a couple of weeks ago. I was covering the show for The Daily Dust and you can read my review by clicking this link - I think I [...]

Playing their unique fusion of trance and metal, Enter Shikari came to Birmingham.This was my first experience of Shikari, and I have to say I was impressed with their tight, energetic performance. Lighting was pretty good and flash was allowed, so I ended up with plenty of keepers...

Before a certain, well-known British trance metal act took the stage in Birmingham a few weeks ago, it was down to The Devil Wears Prada to open things up. I was covering the show for The Daily Dust and, because of this, I got to interview TDWP’s singer Mike Hranica before the gig on their [...]

Finishing off another great night at the Academy, Kentucky’s finest exports – Black Stone Cherry. This was the third time I’d photographed the excellent four-piece, and as ever it was a lot of fun. I wa...

After The Parlor Mob had warmed things up nicely, Duff McKagan’s Loaded took to the stage. I’ve interviewed Duff a couple of times before, and chatted to him again before this show for the Daily Dust – the interview will go online soon. Howe...

Opening up another great rock show in Birmingham recently were American five-piece The Parlor Mob. This was the first time I’d even heard any music by this band, and I was blown away by their performance. I loved their riffs, their passion and their pure wall of noise approach. ...

Brit retro-rockers Heaven’s Basement opened up what was surely one of the gigs of the year in Wolverhampton earlier this month. The lineup was completed by Madina Lake and the excellent Papa Roach, and I was there to cover it all for The Daily Dust – you can see my review here. I had also [...]

Headlining a top night’s entertainment – the excellent Papa Roach. As you may have guessed if you’ve been reading the posts below, these shots were also taken as part of my coverage for the Daily Dust and, as with the other two bands on the bill, I got to interview Tobin and also got to [...]

Up next on a night of great rock music in Wolverhampton, Chicago’s Madina Lake.Again, I was photographing ML as part of my coverage for the Daily Dust, and I was also lucky enough to interview bassist Matthew Leone before the show – something you’ll know if you’ve been following my 365 days of phot...

Headlining my first visit to the new Academy – All Time Low. As with the other two bands, flash was allowed throughout the three songs, but given the sudden amount of extra light on ATL compared to the other two bands, I experimented using faster shutter speeds with the flash to try and get a [...]

Following on from the last post, here’s my shots of the second band of the bill – Chicago’s The Audition. Again, these shots were taken as part of my coverage for The Daily Dust and, as with TFNB, I was allowed to use flash for my 3 songs.
