Big Day Out 2013 @ Gold Coast Parklands, 20.01.2013 – The Very Belated Quick Round-Up
A couple of years ago I got back from a trip to the UK and a few hours later was out photographing a festival in the Botanic Gardens. Unfortunately I had been en route and had missed the far superior line-up of the first day of Sunset Sounds but getting out of the house to […]
Soundwave 2013 on Film
I can remember saying when I got my first digital camera that I saw no reason to stop using my film camera and expected to keep using both cameras side-by-side. For a while I did keep photographing gigs in film and digital but it didn’t last too long. Since that time I’ve had rolls of random […]
Harvest 2012 @ The Botanic Gardens, Brisbane, 18.11.2012: Part 2
Looking back over 2012’s music festivals, it was definitely the year of disappointing festivals.

The Presets were Parklife’s main stage headliners, a somewhat risky proposition given that when the lineup was announced and the tickets went on sale, they had yet to release their third album. They get a reasonable crowd but The Riverstage is nowhere near as busy as it had been during the afternoon for the likes […]
Parklife 2013 @ Brisbane Botanic Gardens, 29.09.2012: Part 1
When it came around to writing something about Parklife 2012, I realised that, months after the event, I had no notes and most of what had already been written in the quick round-up post applied when thinking back to that Saturday at the end of September When it came around to looking to select the […]
