King Edward VII
That's the bloke on the horse on the plateau in front of St.George's Hall. In the background is the Wellington Memorial.
Garlands
More archive stuff that may or may not appear in the forthcoming book and exhibitions. But I'm back out and about today so I should have some new and up to date photos by tomorrow! And then on Saturday it's The Pale Fountains and the first of their two 20th Anniversary gigs!

Waterloo
This is actually from earlier on in the year but I just came across it whilst doing a late edit! I've also just been editing metadata as I didn't seem to have the right calendar setting on my camera. And when I looked into it I found that one of my previous compact cameras only ever took photographs in the year 2020.

Capital Of Pop Culture
Capital Of Pop Culture is the working title of the book about my 20 years photographing the music scene in Liverpool. The book was originally going be a self published affair but I've now had an offer from an external publishers who are going to publish it and can still make that happen this year! I'll let you know more when I've got the details after meeting up with them and the designers next week. Current mood : Very Excited! This photograph is of Travis and was taken in The Zanzibar after they'd played an acoustic gig there to promote their first album. The album wasn't a success first time around but was re-released, with a photograph of mine on the cover, when they made it big with their 2nd album.

Shack
I spent most of yesterday working through my archive in preparation for an exhibition which is happening this year. This is Mick and John Head from Shack, in about 1990, outside Trading Places on Wood Street. They'd just done an afternoon acoustic gig in the cafe there.

Merseyside ACME
Last night saw Merseyside ACME celebrate their 10th birthday with a great event at Room on Old Hall Street. ACME exists to support and nurture the creative industries on Merseyside and has helped me many times over the year including supporting the Eighthundred project last year. For the birthday, I was commissioned to produce 10 portraits to be displayed on the night and in a brochure. This one is of Nina and Claire from Nook & Willow.

Bright Young Things
The new Liverpool.com magazine, as well as having the jump shoot in it, had a feature about the city's 'bright young things'. Whilst some are stretching the use of the wrd 'young', they're defo all bright enough. One was Impact's Kate Smith who I'm including here as they never used this photo in the piece. And I wanted to point out that I did the pics as there wasn't a credit on the article! Others include the singer Alice Klar, design agency Black & Ginger, furniture designer Anna Lockwood and photographer Helen Palmer.
