All Tomorrow’s Parties – The Nightmare Before Xmas 2009 – Part 2
Day 2 of 2009’s Nightmare before Xmas and you get the impression that everyone in attendance woke up with a sore head, which was eased over breakfast and Muppet Treasure Island on one of the ATP TV Channels. The two ATP TV channels broadcast cult films, music documentaries and obviously hangover-relieving programs for the mornings-after-the-nights-before, 24 hours […]
Splendour In The Grass 2010 – Day 3
Day Three of Splendour and the battery in my mobile lasts long enough for a single tweet: Tent collapse. Slept in car. Need hat. Bad hair. Festival oversold. Florence carnage.

Splendour In The Grass 2010 – Day 2

Me vs Splendour In The Grass 2010
Having photographed Splendour In The Grass in 2008 and 2009, I find myself in an interesting position for 2010. I have a free media pass but because Mess+Noise (who I’m covering the festival for) forgot to apply for a photo pit pass before the deadline and before all of the passes were allocated, I don’t […]
All Tomorrow’s Parties – The Nightmare Before Xmas 2009 – Part 1
Amazingly not only have more than six months passed since the December 2009 10 days of ATP bonanza but Minehead has also played host to another couple of amazing looking ATP festivals, with Matt Groening curating the first weekend and Pavement the second. As usual, there were some amazing bands on both of bills and […]
