This was my second show working for a new webzine – Noise Addiction. I have known the editor Emma as a fellow photographer via the world of flickr for a while now. She’s a real nice girl and a great photographer with some really cool things going down at Noise Addiction so I was honoured when she asked me to cover a few shows for her up this way. So the show itself was not really my cup of tea. …
O2 Academy, Newcastle – 11th April 2010 So new site means the start of me catching up on the million gigs that I have been to and posting up some pictures. AFI was way back in April but I still remember as if it was yesterday. Having no confirmation for my pass that night I stuck my camera gear in my car & went down to the show as I had a ticket for me to get in regardless of …
O2 Academy, Newcastle – Sunday 21st March 2010 So another blog up from my back log of gig blogs. I still have Blogs from AFI, Groezrock 2010, Kids In Glasses and many more to come. I may also be posting some blogs that aren’t music related for once! I have to be honest I’m not a very big fan of Paloma’s music – mainly because I don’t know what she has really done apart from the odd song I may …
Frank Turner – Northumbria Student’s Union – Monday 15th March 2010 Another day, another blog from the backlog I have created over the last 2 months. Frank Turner was a show I was really looking forward to, after hearing his most recent album I became a big fan and was looking forward to seeing him. Support for this tour came from Crazy Arm & the great Chuck Reagan, Chuck was/is the singer of one of my favorite bands – Hot …
We The Kings – O2 Academy, Newcastle – Saturday 13th March 2010 These guys were supporting You Me At Six on the last UK tour. All in all in was probably one of the worst shows I have been/shot all year. To start with I really didn’t enjoy their music, I found them boring to watch/photograph and everything that could have gone wrong for me technically did go wrong. Turned up late missing first support band, shot 80% of these …
A Day To Remember – Newcastle SU – Tuesday 9th March 2010 w/ Architects & Your Demise So back in March I went along to a dark basement at Newcastle’s Students Union to catch A Day To Remember on their UK headline tour. Only haven shot once before in this venue I was still unsure as what to expect. Was told on the way in the usual 3 songs no flash rule but the security at this venue were sound …

I have blogs from A Day To Remember, We The Kings, Frank Turner, Paloma Faith, AFI and Groezrock Festival all that I want to get online. I aim to have all of these up in the next two weeks. So watch …
O2 Academy, Newcastle – Wednesday 3rd February 2010 So this is the 3rd and final blog from the Kerrang Tour that happened over a week ago now. Really did want to get this up sooner but you know hte score, to busy and to lazy! So the final headline act of the tour was those American guys – All Time Low. I photographed these guys last year and if I’m honest I could not name one song they play as …
