Sir John Tavener's Requiem

I've been in the Metropolitan Cathedral for the last 2 nights covering the rehearsals and premiere of Sir John Tavener's 'Requiem' which was performed by The Liverpool Philharmonic conducted by Vasily Petrenko. Incredible!

Ben Johnson

The artist Ben Johnson has been resident in the Walker Art Gallery for the duration of February publicly finishing this large scale painting of Liverpool and will continue doing so until March 7th. The final work will then go on show at the gallery from May 24th-November 2nd along with other works from his World Panorama Series.

Long Time No Blog!

Southport funfair has been closed for 2 years and only a temporary set of rides are in place in the summer months for tourists' in search of traditional seaside entertainment. So it's left to the famous Silcock's Funland to stand as the main destination for penny arcades, pinball and pensioners seeking the sun on a warm February afternoon.

I shot this today whilst doing a fashion shoot for Liverpool.com Magazine which is out mid March. I had time to kill as the models went to Blackpool instead of Southport!

Nouvelle Vague

In the excitement of posting the photographs of Justice, I forgot that I'd covered a gig at Carling the night before. More French stuff as this time it was Nouvelle Vague.

Tigerpicks

This morning I've been editing through some shoots from last year including this one from the Tigerpicks shoot that I did with video maker James Slater. This was shot in the disused car park on the old Garden Festival site.

Justice

Like Spinal Tap for the rave generation, French electro disco kings Justice perform from their crucifix adorned stage set up at Carling Academy.

Old Evol

This was the first time I ever did any photographs at Evol and it was when it was in Heebeejeebees. The girl on the right was American and living in Liverpool for a while. The lad was then the singer of Leeds' band 10,000 Things but was also seen last year playing Ian Curtis in Anton Corbjin's 'Control'. The photograph originally featured in Plastic Rhino Magazine.

Liverpool Sound City

Last night was the launch of Liverpool Sound City which is a new music business event/conference/week of parties that's happening this year at the end of May. Performing at the launch party were Christian, The Vagabonds, Delta Fiasco, Hot Machine and The Rascals.

Dirty old river.

But you wouldn't think it to look at it. The weather yesterday was stunning and the sunset over the Mersey was quite amazing. I know it's the school holidays but the places was packed right the way along so I reckon this culture lark might be paying off.

Rare Fashion

I've been slack over the last few days as I've been struck down by one of them winter bug things and all I've managed to do is to plough my way through my dvd collection. This is from a recent shoot for Rare Fashion and was shot in between hail and snowstorms!
