I’ve been photographing Chorlton Arts Festival for a number of years now and it’s always a blast. This year saw a great range of music, theatre, comedy and spoken word events, plus exhibitions and workshops across the M21 postcode. My personal highlight was the Blues & Gospel Tram, which commemorated the 50th anniversary of Muddy Waters, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and others playing an incredible live show at Chorlton Train Station in 1964.
This year I had the pleasure of shooting Rachael Dadd, John Smith, Bells in the Birches and Paper Aeroplanes, as well as the wonderful Blues & Gospel Tram. Here are a small selection of my favourite shots.
