Both Sides Now, with Beth Orton, Part 2

The second of my two days documenting the Beth Orton residency of the Both Sides Now programme was spent at the Old Granada Studios. The day centred around setting up the stage and running sound checks and rehearsals. In the evening came the launch party. 100’s of VIPs flooded into to the cavernous studio space to join the event, which was hosted by Miranda Sawyer, and included speeches from composer Anna Meredith (also a Both Sides Now ambassador) and Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham. The evening culminated in an incredible one-off live performance from Beth Orton and the participants of the residency. You can see some of my favourite images from the day in the gallery below.

Both Sides Now, with Beth Orton, Part 1

Both Sides Now is a three-year programme from Brighter Sound. Funded by The Arts Council, it’s aim is to support, inspire and showcase women in music across the North of England. To kick start this ambitious new project, Brighter Sound commissioned Both Sides Now ambassador, Beth Orton, to run a week long residency with emerging female musicians, vocalists, writers and visual artists, culminating in a performance of their original work at the Both Sides Now launch party. I was invited to join Beth, and the 12 talented female artists chosen for the residency, for the last two days of the project. Here are some of my favourite images from the first of these two days, when the group were still finishing of their pieces – and even writing some new ones – at Chethams School of Music, Manchester.

Field Music

In mid November I found myself in a recording studio and abandoned dance studio on the coast of the River Wear in Sunderland, to document the latest of Brighter Sound’s residencies for up and coming musicians and vocalists. This time around the directors were the hugely acclaimed Field music – aka brothers Peter and David Brewis – who were mentoring 10 emerging musicians and writers in the art of record making. The group wrote, created, adapted and recorded old and new works over the course of 5 days. I joined them on day 4 of the residency. A selection of my favourite images can be seen below.

Sing City with Beats and Pieces Big Band

Sing City is a weekly song writing and performance workshop for young musicians. It’s run by Brighter Sound and is held at Manchester’s iconic Band on the Wall. The young people who take part are mentored and supported by acclaimed local musicians, Natalie McCool, Phil Howley and James Holt, alongside occasional special guest artists who run one off masterclasses. I went along to photograph one such masterclass, hosted by the Beats and Pieces Big Band – a jazz collective, originating from Manchester who hosted Sing City during a month long European tour. Here are some of my favourite images from the night.

Pee Wee Ellis FUNK: Foundation, Brighter Sound’s Artistic Director Series #009

A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of photographing the legendary saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis as part of Brighter Sound’s 9th Artistic Director Series, FUNK: Foundation. Pew Wee was a major part of James Brown’s band in the 1960s and co-wrote several of the Godfather of Soul’s greatest hits. Alongside the supremely talented trumpeter Gary Winters, Pee Wee worked with a group of 15 young musicians over the course of 4 days to create a roof-raising funk-tastic one-off performance at Band on the Wall.

I’ve collated a selection of my favourite images from the residency in the gallery below for you to enjoy. Stay funky people!

My Favourite Images of 2016

I’ve put together a collection of my favourite images from 2016, and what a year it was! I got to photograph Grammy award winners, Premiership footballers and Mercury prize nominees; I shot events  in museums, laboratories, tv studios, hidden gardens and amongst giant smoke machines; I travelled half way round the world and saw incredible cultural and natural wonders; and I got to meet and work with some truly inspirational people along the way.

I’ve chosen each of the images in the collection below for different reasons.  Some because they captured a unique moment, some because they are successful in terms of technique or composition, and  some because they transport me back to a special time and place in my life from the past 12 months.

I hope you enjoy looking through these images as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Thanks so much for all your support in 2016. Wishing  you all a happy new year and a fabulous 2017!

My Music, My Manchester

My Music, My Manchester was an ambitious project from a collaboration of partners including My Hub, Brighter Sound and Manchester Camerata, to produce am intensive week long creative residency for a diverse group of young musicians and artists, led by singer, songwriter and activist Meklit , culminating in a very special one off performance at the BBC Philharmonic studio at Media City. You can see some of my favourite images from the workshops at Band on the Wall and the incredible final performance in the gallery below.

Imogen Heap Residency with Brighter Sound

Earlier  this month I had the pleasure of working with Brighter Sound again, this time documenting their latest Artistic Director residency, with singer and composer Imogen Heap. Under Imogen’s guidance, in just 5 days a group of 10 talented young musicians, who had never met before, managed to write, produce and release a song, film and edit a music video, create the single cover art, produce an exhibition and put on a live show at Manchester’s Band on The Wall. It was an incredible achievement and a real privilege top document. They named their band Frink Frink and their song, Marble, is now available to purchase on itunes and all good online music stores.

You can see a selection of my favourite images from the residency below.
