Tankus The Henge ~ "the most fantastic band in the world" ... On a Boat !

[slideshow]Wowza, my good friend TANKUS THE HENGE  invited me down to their latest gig, aboard a beautiful old barge moored up on the embankment of the Thames. I haven't seen the boys play live since they took on 3 new members. Tim Fulker - Guitar, Vocals. Seb Laverde - Drums and Louis Schultz-Wiremu - Saxophone. For anyone who hasn't seen this band, i can only say you must!! I defy anyone, and i mean anyone to not find themselves jigging along to these boys eclectic beats. They are truly a sight to behold and the energy they give off is infectious to say the least! Jaz Delorean - Keys, Lead Vocals, squeeze box, Trombone and Table tapper was in hight spirits, and gave me a wink when he said, wait till you hear us now with the new boys on board! He was so right!! Dan Mason - Bass, Vocals and crazy Jake Stoddart - Trumpet complete the line up. I am looking forward to going along with the boys to their amazing appearance they have confirmed at the HOP FARM FESTIVAL on the 1st-3rd July. Prince, Iggy and the Stooges, The Eagles, 10cc, Lou Read, Bryan Ferry, Morrissey and many more all playing!!

Big congrats to Tankus for getting onto this line up. They are def going places, so get along to a gig of theirs while you can still get  to enjoy them up close and personal, at their very most craziest!

See you there!! ;-)

British Superbikes Kicks off at Brands Hatch - Round 1, and a SCORCHER!

The good people at the Mirror.co.uk have kindly enlisted me again this year to attend the British Superbike rounds and snap the action and the events as their roving Snapper! The opening round proved to be an absolute cracker! Weather in the 80's, the course record going to Mr Shaky Byrne and only 10th's of seconds separating the top of the field!! Check out my images here or on the mirror site ... and do stop me if you are attending one of the rounds and see me.... We will be selecting people from each round to be entered into the 'Wall of Fame' so be original and get your mug in the Mirror!!  Hope to snap you soon!! :-) don't forget to join our Facebook fanpage also and tag yourself[gallery columns="6" orderby="ID"]

Go West!

Here is a job i recently did for a large commercial property owner in Central London. My brief was to visit some of their properties, traders and the people of the area, to capture 'What the West End means to me'. I had great fun doing this job, but was often tricky convincing people on the fly that i was for real! People are very suspicious of you when you stroll towards them brandishing a camera, a smile and a printed bit of paper! :)

Hope you enjoy the results and hope you like the final artwork. My fave shot was the mad 'red hairdressers'! Bonkers![slideshow]
