The Wardrobe's 10th Birthday • Fusion video by Barnaby Aldrick Photography

Hey kids.  Man – I have been busy!  I’m getting lost under that no-time-to-blog cloud, and all of a sudden you’ve too much to blog!  Woe is life. But here I am, to the bequest of my fanbase!  Or something.

Sicily pix have been filed but are still in the pipes, as I’ve been trying to stay afloat on recent weddings.  It’s been a case of hitting the ground running since holidays, but a mui tranquillo November is becoming more than just a spec on the horizon.

In other news!  In association with theSoundGallery.co.uk I was asked down by The Wardrobe – Leeds’ top jazz, funk & soul club – to photograph their 10th Birthday celebrations.

It was an awesome night – and though I was on toggy duties, I thought I’d shoot a bit of video too on the mkII.  Check my cheeky fusion vid of the fun:

Celebrating a decade in the game, they rounded up Leeds’ usual funky suspects into ‘The Wardrobe Superfunk Allstars’ (featuring Chunky Butt Funky, The Haggis Horns, Jacuzzi 500, The New Mastersounds, Pete Huckerby, Lara Rose, Kelly Dickson, Fuzzy Jones and Rhianna Kellly), as well as some wicked yazz flute driven rock/funk from the Screaming Citizens.

Here are few other faves that caught my eye over the night.

The left & right images below were out of focus but had a special quality.

There was also a bit of burlesque action courtesy of The Wardrobe’s Wet Spot night!

Happy days.
