Tramlines 2014 – Friday!

My first attempt to photograph a festival was a very different kettle of fish to just turning up at a gig with my camera. No, instead it was turning up at 10 different gigs with my camera! I spent the whole evening rotating around the Tramlines fringe, which was about 10 different venues, sticking my […]

Another night put on by Paul at Harrisons, this time with five bands! In an attempt to avoid the LED problem from my last visit to Harrisons I attempted to use the built in flash on my camera, wrapped up in quite a lot of toilet roll to attempt to diffuse it a bit. It […]

Bayonet, Deadset Dream, Animated, O Captain

It was a bit of a rush to get down for this gig. Left work bang on time, rushed home, got changed for a run, showered, and then ran back out to Harrison’s 1854 to catch the first band O Captain. I’d heard them on soundcloud and was really looking forward to them. Glad I […]

Iron Sphincter, The Zombie Band!

Ok, this was interesting! Pete at work let me know about this gig and dragged me down. It was at a venue called The Lughole, on Arundel Street. We’d never heard of it! Turns out it’s a little DIY space used for punk gigs. Basically a concrete box with a stage, a PA and a […]

Heavy Duck, Little Mono, Air Drawn Dagger

On Wednesday I got my first ever request for some photos through the contact form. Joe from Little Mono wanted someone to come and take some photos of their gig at The Green Room. This was an interesting gig. The bands started before 9 and there was no stage, instead just the corner of the […]

Elegies, The Years Between Decades, Mind And Separation, Skyligers

Paul, formerly of the awesome Exit Strategy One has been looking after bands playing at Harrison’s 1854 recently and after I took a look at the rather awesome “Scars” by Elegies linked on their event page, I decided to head down and take some photos. I was seriously impressed, these guys were all amazing! Lighting […]

Graveyard Jonnys, The Dukes of Bordello, The Sons of El’Rocho, Thieves By The Code

Another trip to the South Sea, this time to see a bunch of guys playing some awesome noisy rock and roll. A teeny bit of a departure from the Heavy Metal bands I’ve been mostly photographing, but still something I definitely enjoyed. Lighting was again tough in the South Sea on the left hand side […]

Deadfest: Epitaph, Blackened Eyes, Trust Within, Screaming Ace

Back to the South Sea for Deadfest and some more metal! I found this evening much tougher to get good looking photographs than the previous night. Possibly because the venue was a bit more crowded, but probably not. Either way, I managed to pull out more photos than expecting, but over all I’m less happy […]

Resistance, Bring On The Bloodshed, I Call Mutiny

Not much to do on Sunday night, and after feeling a little rejuvenated from taking the Fallen Mafia pictures the other day, I spotted that there was an event on at The South Sea up in Broomhill and though I’d go for a wander up. These guys were all LOUD. I was wearing plugs, but […]

Exit Strategy One

I took these at the end of last year, but the lack of any significant lighting at The Hop prevented me really doing much with them. After sorting out the photos from Friday evening, I decided to tidy them up and upload them anyway. I’m a bit more happy with them, but the lack of […]
