Feeling Festive // The Sunday Service Christmas Special Brew [by Barnaby Aldrick

Xmas Sunday Service Call Lane Social 014

Happy Boxing Day peeps!  Hope your Christmas was ace and you’ve left over turkey, pringles and baileys to get creative with! One of my favourite things about Xmas is the Christmas special of my gig night, The Sunday Service.  It’s on the last Sunday of every month, generally showcasing three ace bands from near and far, at Verve Bar in Leeds.  The Christmas Special Brew however, is always my fave of the year, as we ask back a whole bunch of bands that we’ve enjoyed over the year, and get them to play short sets of 3 songs each, including a...

Sunday Service November // Music Photography [by Barnaby Aldrick]

Sunday Service Verve Leeds November 015

Happy Christmas Eve Eve y’all! Some of you dear readers may know I host and organise a band night in Leeds called the Sunday Service.  It’s a free night at Verve bar in Leeds on the last Sunday of every month and our mantra is to champion the cream of the North’s singer songwriter talent and pay them in beer and pictures.  It’s always a great night where music fans come to respectfully listen to good music, and bands play all the better in that listening environment! First up were the amazing Garforth & Myers, so named cos Rory Garforth is...

Pilla ‘Take The Boat In Style’ // Music video filmed on iPhone 4S! [by Barnaby Aldrick]

Pilla Vimeo Thumb 2

It’s kinda quiet time in the wedding world at the moment, so for a bit of a laugh yesterday, I hooked up with good buddy & excellent musician Dave Pilla, and we filmed a music video on my iPhone 4S. Check it out: Pretty crazy what you can do with a phone eh?! For the geeks out there here’s how I did it: I took one iPhone 4S (which has a great little HD camera on it, though exposure is more manually controllable with the ProCamera App) clicked it into a Glif, a low profile iPhone fixing with a tripod attachment in...

Sunday Service October // Music Photography [by Barnaby Aldrick]

Sunday-Service-October-018

I host and organise a band night in Leeds called the Sunday Service.  It’s a free night at Verve bar in Leeds on the last Sunday of every month and our mantra is to champion the cream of the North’s singer songwriter talent and pay them in beer and pictures.  It’s always a great night where music fans come to respectfully listen to good music, and bands play all the better in that listening environment! As usual, I thought I’d share a few of my fave images of the night.   These ones are of two members of the band ‘Silverlode‘,...

James Vincent McMorrow & Lindi Ortega // Live at the Leeds City Varieties [by Barnaby Aldrick Photography]

James Vincent McMorrow and Lindsey Ortega at the Leeds City Varieties 017

On a drizzly night last I went to the recently refurbed City Varieties Music Hall, in the centre of Leeds, to catch James Vincent McMorrow play.I remember going to the City Varieties as a kid, with nana, to catch the Xmas pantos. It was a bit tatty back then, and in recent years closed its doors for a massive refurb.   It literally re-opened it’s doors last month, to an apparently storming show from Ken Dodd (!), who played till 1.30am! But it was great to see how they’ve restored it to it’s former glory; and it’s wonderful to have...

The Sunday Service Leeds Music Photography 019

I host and organise a band night in Leeds called the Sunday Service.  It’s a free night at Verve bar in Leeds on the last Sunday of every month and our mantra is to champion the cream of the North’s singer songwriter talent and pay them in beer and pictures.  It’s always a great night where music fans come to respectfully listen to good music, and bands play all the better in that listening environment! We’ve a really special act coming up from London for Septembers Sunday Service on the 25th, and his name is Nick Mulvey. We’ve had him...

Roy Ayers & Pete Rock // Live at The Wardrobe, Leeds [by Barnaby Aldrick Photography]

Roy-Ayers-The-Wardrobe-Leeds-001

I just realised I never posted images from the Roy Ayers gig I shot at The Wardrobe a few weeks back. Occasionally, The Wardrobe ask me down to shoot gigs when they’ve special acts on I was excited when they asked me down to snap Roy Ayers & Pete Rock!Gigs are downstairs and queues were out the door.I believe it was totally sold out. Roy Ayer’s is a total legend.  He’s not only an American funk, soul & jazz composer, but is possibly the most famous vibraphone player around. This tour he played with the infamous DJ & rapper Pete Rock (who’s real...

How to photograph gigs with a compact camera// Take That Live [by Barnaby Aldrick Photography]

Take That Live by Barnaby Aldrick 010

I wouldn’t say I was proud to admit that I recently went to see Take That live on their ‘Progress’ Tour in Manchester, but after hearing all round amazing reports of the Circle tour (from my Take That obsessed girlfriend as well as more impartial others), as well as Robbie William’s return for this tour, I was definitely interested to see what they’d pull out from up their sleeves.  Plus we got to go to Hard Rock Cafe for burgers & shakes beforehand! Opening the show were the Pet Shop Boys, who did a reasonable job of bringing the stage...

Buffalo Bones Live Studio Session // Leeds College of Music [by Barnaby Aldrick]

Last week, after the fun of the Leeds College of Music special Radio Leeds with BBC Introducing (post here), I was asked back by the LCM marketing team to start photographing various college events to help bring a new look to their upcoming prospectus.   This event was an interesting one; college music tech students were recording ‘Buffalo Bones‘ (one of the stand out bands of the BBC Introducing show) in The HUB (Holbeck Underground Ballroom), a hidden Lottery Funded arts space in 5 disused railway arches down near water lane. I’ve never been before and it was a funky little hangout, originally envisaged as...

The Leeds Festival 2010 Part 2 // Music Photography [by Barnaby Aldrick]

It’s been a while since the Leeds Festival last August Bank Holiday weekend.  I was asked along to shoot it by The Leeds Guide Magazine and I really do enjoy capturing the event & checking out a bunch of (well lit!) new bands. Just the other day, ‘Becca.h’ commented on on my ‘Leeds Fest part 1′ post (here) asking what happened to part 2?  Truth be told, I’d forgotten all about it! So here we are… part 2. [It's been a while since I was there, so forgive me if I can't remember who everyone is!] Here’s one of Yannis Philippakis (excellent sirname!),...
