Last night I was back at St Pancras Station for some more Station Sessions gigs.

Charlie Simpson was on the concourse - and he was brilliant!  He played a half hour set and drew one of the biggest crowds I've seen down there so far - was fun!  Loved his song 'Sundown' (which he dedicated to Steve Jobs of Apple who very sadly recently passed away), a few people in the audience shed a tear at that one - a beautiful song.

A night at the Royal Albert Hall

This week I had the pleasure of working with some great people backstage at the Royal Albert Hall for a classical music event ('dream team' you know who you are!).  It's not every day that I get to snap this kinda thing, so it was cool for a change.  I love the Royal Albert Hall - it's a fantastic venue for both watching gigs as well as taking photo's. 

Here's a shot from the night.....

Also this week I snapped a gig in a car park, which was great fun.  Then a few days later I snapped a band on a tiny little island in the middle of the Thames, which you could only reach by rowing boat - I was a little anxious as camera's and water don't mix!!  It was such a great day and as it was so hot at the end of the shoot the band jumped into the river!!
