Rodley Canal Walk at f1.4 [by Barnaby Aldrick Photography]

Firstly, for you blog followers, massive apologies for the scarcity of content on the ol’ blog roll this month!  As I was weddingless this month, I presumed I’d be able to pop me feet up & enjoy a movie or two while posting loads of fun photies I had in the pipes for y’all.  But somehow January’s run away with itself & I’ve been keeping out of trouble doing all sorts of stuff!  Mainly it’s been gearing up 2011 for both my own business & excitable plotting with my homies at 3B Media. But you’ll hear more on that in...

Sunday Service // Christmas Special at Call Lane Social [by Barnaby Aldrick]

Some of you may know I host a Leeds band night on the last Sunday of every month called The Sunday Service & last Sunday was our Christmas Special. We generally try to make the Sunday Service Christmas special our fun & festive highlight of the year… Above is a shot of last years special (full post here), downstairs in the small, but perfectly formed Verve Bar on Merrion St.  NB: I’m not sure why everyone’s pointing at me!   However, the last Sunday of this month is in fact Boxing day, and not an ideal night for a Christmas...

ODi Music Video Behind the Scenes // Arran, Scotland [by Barnaby Aldrick]

The reason things’ve been a little quiet on the blog of late (my humblest apologies, dear readers!), is because I’ve been up on the Isle of Arran, off the Western coast of Scotland (read: ‘the middle of nowhere’) hanging out with some pals & shooting a music video! Clare, my pal Reeko & I headed North and left at Carlisle and boarded the ferry from Saltcoats to Arran This is my buddy Dave & his wriggly dogs Ruby & Mo!  His mam lives on Arran and went away for a week so we took over. Dave’s in a band with...

Corinne Bailey-Rae at the O2 Academy // Music Photography by Barnaby Aldrick

I don’t know many celebrities, but when I was young I went to youth club with Corinne Bailey-Rae. It was there my pals & I saw her do her first gigs as ‘Helen’ a way-ahead-of-their-time rock/soul hybrid, formed around 3 best mates, Jenny, Jo & Corinne.  We saw them play a thousand times over and watching Helen’s songwriting craft grow, it was hard not to forsee great things on the horizon.  Corinne’s voice alone pricked the ears of label scouts, but she only wanted to sign as Helen.  Through the years, and various drummers, the basist, Jo, eventually left for...

The importance of communication & exposing flash // by Barnaby Aldrick

Rob Booker, Phil Barber & Myself created 3B Media, a company to share what we’ve learnt in our professional experience & to take on all kinds of interesting projects outside our usual worlds (like the Cities Between us rock video we filmed & I blogged about last week  - post & vid here).  It’s been an exciting year for us for many reasons, but the 3B Workshops we’ve run have been a great experience. As well as 1-2-1 courses with budding pro’s wanting hands-on, one-on-one tutoring, the Urban Portraits & One-Day Weddings workshops were ace. On the Urban Portraits course we brought along pro models, on...

Cities Between Us – ‘Dirty Money’ Music Video // by 3B Media

A few months back 3B Media were approached for some promo snaps by a band calling themselves ‘Cities Between Us‘. After checking out their myspace we arranged to meet them at one of the our fave Leeds haunts, The Reliance for a pint. We were more than impressed with the sheer energy & enthusiasm coming from these dudes.  They told us their story & how they’d come together from Iceland, New Zealand & Canada (hence ‘Cities Between Us’) and were currently rocking out some new tracks in the UK/Canada, whichever kept them busiest.  Here they are are: L>R Valdimar, Jo,...
