I know, I know.
Jimpster of Essex
How lovely to spend an autumnal evening with my old pay Jimpster. He's THE best deep house DJ you know, preferred by all house music cognescenti and rolling out lushness worldwide every weekend. The world owes him for the joy he's spread I reckon. Peep at http://www.freerangerecords.co.uk/ to hear more loveliness.
Tommy tees at The Quiet Life
I know I've mentioned them already but it's my blog and I can repost if I like. Nice tees for sale at The Quiet Life with my photo and signature and all the good stuff.
MOJO France cover with more Johnny love
International recognition is always a nice treat.
Vaccines, final. Honest. That's it. Done.
Thanks Nigel TM and the band for a truly memorable shoot. The heavens opened the very second we got back to the car, which was very significant to us at the time (without wanting to get all Woodstock on you).
Whey hey with The Vaccines
Celebrations well earnt and fully justified.
Post gig love with The Vaccines
Great show fellas.
Justin on stage at Reading
On stage with The Vaccines. Justin looking great.
Vaccines at Reading
Seconds before stage time with The Vaccines.
Vaccines Fly October boooom!
Wicked shoot at Reading Festival, great access both on stage and then dressing rooms after the show. This was grabbed in seconds post-gig, but we knew we had it. They smashed the show of course and it was really, really exciting to witness the chaps' nerves and tension and excitement prior to the show and then straight after. See here.
Jarvis again up on A Room For London
Jarvis Cocker at Artangel's A Room for London, a one-bedroom boat installation on the roof of Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall. Try and wrangle the means to see it if you can somehow, it's glorious and London looks really something from up there.
Jarvis Cocker in Artangel's Room for London
Obviously a delight to shoot Jarvis Cocker at A Room for London, a one-bedroom boat installation on the roof of Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall. Invited by Artangel, he spent two days on board with special guests recording interviews and performances for his BBC 6 Music Sunday Service broadcast on Sunday 30 September.www.aroomforlondon.co.uk
Spector at Logitech UE launch do
Quite why Spector are appearing on this blog so much I don't know but they sounded good and performed well last night and the crowd did really enjoy it. We all know how a corporate gig can go down sometimes but Fred engaged the gathered throng easily. Credit to 'em.
Of Monsters and Men at Village Underground
Logitech UE launch party, with quality talent and some cool tech on display too. No goody bag for Oldham alas.
Florence print in support of The 100 Project
Register your interest here in this online auction for a fantastic cause and a win non-too-shabby print of Florence, signed by me. Yes, me. I know!
Alex Clare for Island Records
Lovely shoot with Alex Clare, loads of killer shots with a cool guy. Doing great too, was no.1 in the Billboards that week. Worth a rummage on your internet. More here.
Toes and James Murphy/LCD Soundsystem in NME
