It seems to have taken forever and a day ( a bit like this post), but finally we got there; the Butcher Birds‘ début album launch, just about 3½ years to the very day from their very first gig at The Rev on Sunday 2 April 2006. Way back then, with half the band being fairly new to […]

Due to the amount of time I spend there – consistently a third of the gigs I go to each year – I often think of The Zoo as my second home. Coming up a close third has to be The Troubadour, and in particular Texas Tea at The Troubadour; the very first band I saw […]

Reaching the last day of the festival one thing is sure; 4 days (I missed the Thursday as everyone I wanted to see on the first day was playing over the weekend anyway, although I still managed to miss Dr John) is more than enough for photographing an outdoor, multi-stage festival, especially when it involves camping.

As with most big music festivals, a lot of the best things at BluesFest 2010 were happening away from the main stage, and in particular on the Caba Caba Ray Stage. Saturday’s highlight is undoubtedly Poor Man’s Whiskey covering Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon in a bluegrass-style (with the original Money having it’s […]

What I Learnt From BluesFest 2010: Photography and camping don’t mix; 2010 is the year when anyone with a camera can get accreditation to the big music festivals. When they’re having to split the photographers into two groups in order to make it manageable and it’s not even the main stage headliners you’ve given out […]
