Photos of The Ex & Brass Unbound (with video) at their excellent show last week. Backing The Ex on this tour was Brass Unbound consisting of the legendary Mats Gustafsson, Ken Vandermark, Roy Paci and Walter Wierbos. Think big band post punk / indie and a touch of improv jazz!

An excellent day with excellent acts. Perfect grey-day post-previous-night-excess material for the soul. Astounding sound quality in a beautiful venue, respectful atmosphere and good friends…

It’s been a good year. I climbed a metaphorical and seemingly impassable mountain in record time. Had my heart reluctantly shattered by an exotic beauty. Been to 67 gigs, 42 of which were in the last 4 months thanks in part to an interest in photography and good fortune
I’ve seen my photos online in a number of places including a video by US television station ABC. Regularly shot for two budding online zines based in the UK. Was asked to be the official photographer for next year’s London International Festival of Exploratory Music. Did my first official art coverage of a performance at the Whitechapel Art Gallery. Became the house photographer at one of my favourite live music venues in London (The Luminaire), and even got to see a shot in print by Saatchi Gallery’s prestigious Art & Music magazine. Shooting anywhere between 1 and 6 gigs a week and still loving it. I like to think my photography is improving, and if nothing else, I’m constantly streamlining the process to take less time. I’ve met a lot of great people, fans, bands, reviewers, promoters and venues out of this - friends too!
…actually it’s been a great year now that I think about it!
