LIVE – The Temperance Movement, Seasick Steve & Gregg Allman

Following on from my Rival Sons post, are my other personal highlights from Ramblin’ Man Fair festival. The eccentric dance moves and enigmatic personality of Phil Campbell from The Temperance Movement, was enough for people to forget about the rain… The legend that is Seasick Steve, managed to stop the rain for a brief moment on Sunday afternoon Followed by an even greater legend that is Gregg Allman. Which was just spectacuar. To see some of my other photos, grab the next issue of Classic Rock Magazine! Mx

LIVE – Black Label Society in London

Last night kicked ass! The only downside to the show was the fact I couldn’t rock out in the photo pit while I was shooting, it was a bit mental in there! A selection of my favourites from the show: Mx

LIVE – Prepare for Hell Tour, London

Slipknot came to London at the weekend on their Prepare for Hell Tour, with KoRn as their main support. Both sets were full of energy, with songs that got me rocking out in the photo pit (whilst working of course) and taking me back to my youth. As I’m sure you’ve seen over social media, during KoRn’s set, the guys from Slipknot came out and played a cover of Beastie Boys ‘Sabotage’ – which was unreal! Here are my favourite shots from the show. Mx

LIVE – Machine Head in London & Birmingham UK

I had the incredible honour of photographing 3 of Machine Head‘s UK shows at the end of the ‘Killers & Kings Tour’ Euro leg . It was definitely one of the best moments of 2014 for me, both as a photographer and a fan. As you can imagine, there were quite a lot of pictures to go through. But I’ve managed to get them down to these favourite moments to share with you…. “Don’t ever stop being a fan. Some folks think it’s uncool to be one. They look at me like i’m an idiot when I wait for autographs, tweet to a band or look out for guitar picks after a gig. These people can go suck eggs. The longer i’m around music, the more I realize the importance of staying a fan. If you lose passion for artists you love, you’re forgetting why you got involved with music in the first place” Lou Brutus. Hell fucking Yeah. Mx

Three in a Row

This month, I’m celebrating getting the third consecutive cover feature for Terrorizer Magazine! There’s something about the number three. It appears in science, design, sport, religion, philosophy and even in song lyrics. So I figure it’s a pretty good thing to get excited about. On the September issue we saw LG Petrov from Entombed A.D emerging from a coffin October was Jus from Electric Wizard with the most intense stare into my lens And this month, Tomas (Tompa) from At The Gates rocks the cover to conincide with their first album release in almost twenty years – At War with Reality. Looking back on these shoots, I have great and fun memories mixed in with challenges. But it’s no surprise as they usually come hand in hand with life – wouldn’t it be boring if everything was easy?! I’m stoked with how they’ve all turned out! You can check out my press section to see small versions of the feature pages from each of these issues. I encourage you to buy the magazine and help support magazines in print :) Off to celebrate with a whiskey or few now…. It’s five o’clock somewhere right? Mx

Live: Godsized at Hard Rock Hell, Wales

Hello there! I’ve just returned from an action packed adventure with Godsized! They were booked to play the Hard Rock Hell festival in Glynwedd, Wales. A great event that is now in their eighth year! An awful lot of ‘van time’ – overall I think it was a total of 16 hours actually on the road, there and back to South London – but there was a good vibe and many pit stops for food. These guys are like bottomless pits! And I’ve never attended an after show party that started at 3am before. Godsized played an hour long set, and ended with a cover of Black Sabbath’s ‘War Pigs’. Considering they went on stage at 1.10am, they were full of energy and the crowd loved them. Here’s a small selection of the live pics. Check out the Godsized Facebook Page for more. I also shot some behind the scenes pics which might make an appearance somewhere soon. Mx

Sonisphere Festival 2014

Sonisphere rocked! Too many stories to share, and a load of bands photographed! Some of them I can’t post here as they will be printed in Terrorizer Magazine first. But in the meantime, here is the Festival in pictures through my eyes. Before Metallica took the stage, the fans at the barrier decided to chant my name. I made a video of it! (Though it does actually sound like ‘Murray’ rather than ‘Marie’) An absolute blast! Can’t wait to share with you my live pics, of Metallica in particular! Mx
