MUDHONEY - 12 GALAXIES S.F. 19th NOVEMBER 2005

PARTYLINE / SPIDER AND THE WEBS / PHYSICISTS - 11th Nov.
Riot Grrl style action.

10 bands, 8 fights, 9 fancy dress costumes and 312 riffs.
   
SCOUT NIBLETT - Cardiff Clwb Ifor Bach 28th October
Scout Niblett is a star. Not literally or even metaphorically in the usual way, but she's a star because she's magical, makes no sense.
   
THE PEPPERMINTS - 26th October 2005
A Lesson No. 1 Promotion, The Peppermints are basic punk made by American girls, supported by Hunting Lodge who do stop-start post-something-heavy-angry music.
   
CLUTCH - Cardiff 28th September
Clutch are an amazing band on vinyl, and this is the third time I've managed to see them live. I've not taken photos of them before so I thought I'd sneak a few this time.
   
NEWEST INDÜSTRY ALL-DAYER - 18th September 2005
I was asked to help document this event at Cardiff's Clwb Ifor Bach by the record label Newest Indüstry who staged it. Ten bands played sets during the afternoon and evening between about 2pm -11pm, many of them having relases on the label.
   
ADEQUATE 7 PROMO SHOTS - 9th September 2005
Promo photos taken for the band themselves. I spent most of the day with the band at Monnow Valley Studio during the recording of their new single. The studio is like a holiday cottage with a recording studio annex, next to a small river and surrounded by rural farmland.
   
ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES - April 2005
The best music festival in the world. This years the highlights for me were Peaches and PJ Harvey. Yoko Ono, Lydia Lunch, Sean Lennon, Jayne County and many more also performed.
   
CONVERGE + SUPPORT - TJ'S Newport, 27th March 2005
I. Am. Angry. GRRR!
Converge are one of the most ferocious bands on the planet and this gig was suitably sweaty and intense. Afterwards I got to shake the hand of Converge frontman Jacob Banon, the show had left him drained, hollow like the sun-baked corpse of a lizard.
   
SHELLAC - 2nd December 2004
Shellac are the best band.


Documentary
Photos of news stories, conferences, events and even a wedding.

CALIFORNIA - USA NOVEMBER 2005
Two week holiday, I took my camera.
   
FAG CLUB #1 - Cardiff, 15th September 2005
The first of a planned series of nights held in the basement of the Woodville Pub in Cathays, Cardiff. The highlight for me was a set by Rae Spoon. On tour from Toronto, Canada, she played acoustic guitar, banjo (or ukelele?) and harmonica and sang with a voice like Dolly Parton's sugar coated niece.
   

 

THE WEDDING OF JONATHAN & ELIZABETH - 9th July 2005
It's a great responsibilty to document one of the most important days in a bride's and the groom's lives, so I was delighted that the happy couple were pleased with my work .
   
WELSH MUSIC AWARDS - Cardiff, 1st March 2005
Photos taken for Music Academy Wales, organisers of the event. Bullet for My Valentine won an Award, a feat they'd repeat several months later at the Kerrang! Awards. GLC were there briefly, before childishly leaving because they weren't allowed to smoke in the main hall. Chavs.
   
MMF / WMF Training Weekend
A training event for music managers held at Wales Millenium Centre. I attended most of the second day, very interesting. If you like that sort of thing.
