Shed Seven Back at Their Best in This Month’s Q
Photographing shed seven for Q magazine was brilliant. Great bunch of guys, back performing together for the last four years following a split in 2003 and now starting to write again. I caught a couple of their shows in Leeds and Sheffield – both completely sold out so clearly they’re as popular as they […]
Re-visiting Vietnam
When I say re-visiting I actually mean looking back at an amazing trip through some of my favourite pictures. Believe it or not this is the first opportunity I’ve had to properly share them.

Hangin’ in the Wardrobe with Grant
Grant Nicholas is probably best known as lead singer with Feeder and before you start stressing, no, they haven’t split, two decades on they’re still doing their thing. However, it just so happens that Grant has also got another thing going and he was doing that in Leeds last week, specifically at the Wardrobe. As […]
