Just a quick post(er!) I was in a bar/restaurant in Headingley, Leeds the other day called Arcadia. It’s a bit of a Belgian-style beer house with a plethora of interestingly shaped bottles full of malty/fruity/nutty/cheeky 10% ...
Back in October the legendary Irish muso Mark Geary brought his pals Dan Wilde, Seamus McGloughlin & Ian Bailey to Verve for a special gig in association with my Sunday Service acoustic band night.  We’ve had Mark & Dan ...

Last week I saw U2 at Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield, on their northern leg of the 360 Tour. Myself & a few local photographers moonlight at rock togs in association with The Sound Gallery, and Phil tried his luck getting ...
A while back after writing a wee post about my fave stateside bloggers, I was blessed when a certain Mr David Jay heard about my post (via Google Alerts I’ve since learnt) and made a kind post about me on said famous blog. My ...

A few weeks back I met Rob Booker & Phil Barber for lunch & a chin wag at The Cross Keys in Leeds. I was shooting for the Leeds Guide that day. We’d decided our current project was to set up a flash photography day to ...
