The Vernon Sisters

A few weeks ago I was asked to photograph The Vernon Sisters – a trio of hugely talented real life sisters who perform classic songs at events across the UK. This event was at Liverpool’s impressive Rum Warehouse, on the dockside, and included a full backing band and a troupe of dancers. Before the show we were able to squeeze in a quick portrait shoot and, despite being short on time, we ended up with some great shots before their curtain call! A selection of my favourite images from both the portrait shoot and their performance are below. The Vernon Sister’s hair and make up was by the wonderful Bethany Jane Davies and her team at The Vintage Beauty Parlour

Bonobo: A Sneak Peek

Last night I shot Bonobo at the Albert Hall in Manchester. It was an incredible gig – beautiful venue, amazing music, fantastic atmosphere and a truly lovely crowd. I’ve never had so many friendly gig-goers ask me where they’d be able to see my images before so, whilst I’m still editing the bulk of them, here are a couple to whet your appetites…

Tunng with Pinkunoizu at Band on the Wall, 15th October 2013

Had a fantastic time photographing British electrofolk band Tunng, supported by Pinkunoizu, at Manchester’s Band on the Wall earlier this week. Beautiful, soul-lifting music plus one of the friendliest atmospheres I’ve ever experienced at a gig made for a really special night. Tunng were playing a range of tunes from their new album, Turbines, which I highly recommend you check out and their support act, Danish group Pinkunoizu, are well worth a look too. If you want to catch them live there are still a range of dates left this month at various UK venues (including not-too-distant Liverpool).
