Recent Work

Pictures taken (fairly) recently and samples of some other pages. Been to quite a few festivals and gigs since the last update so only a few from each on this page.

Just uploaded a selection of images from Costa Festival Portugal 2024. Here are a few highlights.

I have also added pics from last year's event which I must have forgotten to upload. Go here for the 2023 festival.

For the second gig of their tour to promote their 3rd album "Pomegranate", India Electric Co. brought their eclectic mix of sounds and rhythms to an appreciative audience at The Live Room at Saltaire.

After being a regular attendee through the 2000's, it's taken me almost a decade to make a return visit to Cropredy. The usual wide ranging selection of musical styles is still very much in evidence. Many bands were new to me. But that's the beauty of festivals. More pictures here.

First time for me at Moonbeams Festival (but already booked for next year). This charming, boutique festival punches well above its weight in terms of the status and quality of the acts they manage to book. More images here.

Folk On The Farm is a small festival organised each year by Tyddyn Môn, a charity which supports adults with learning disabilities on Anglesey. Acts who do well on the small stages are often promoted to the main stage in later years. More images here.

The seventh Beardy Folk Festival (beards are optional) was held at Hopton Court in Staffordshire. Another festival that never fails to provide an interesting and varied line-up on a modest budget. A biblical thunderstorm briefly closed the stages on the Friday night but even that couldn't dampen the obvious enthusiasm of the audience for the artists. More images here.

Costa Festival on Ibiza this year was unseasonably wet for a few days and the music had to be moved inside. The tech team did an amazing job, working long hours to keep the shop on the road. The line up had something for everyone from the Animals to singer songwriter duo Roswell (who were excellent). More pictures here.

Barnoldswick Music and Arts Centre is a real gem of a small venue, punching well above its weight in terms of the quality and stature of the performers it puts on. Here are a few images of The Haar at a recent concert.
