One of the legends of the British music scene over the last 40 years, Peter Hook, formerly of Joy Division and New Order, still playing the hits and making new music. I was lucky enough to catch him playing on three seperate occasions, at Rewind Scotland 2018, at SWG3 in September 2018 and The Barrowland Ballroom in July 2022 in Glasgow. Just terrific.

A wee trip to Glasgow's O2 Academy on the 16th February to shoot Dante Knows and Sticky Fingers for the Academy site. Venue was packed, great atmosphere, 2 bands were foreign to me tho, and typically lighting was s**t for headliners, too many blue red and purple lights, makes a toggers job really difficult.

A recent trip to The Barrowland Ballroom saw another one ticked off the bucket list, whats left of punk legends The Buzzcocks. Steve Diggle was in fine form, and was a great support to Bruce Foxton and From The Jam. Buzzcocks

Just over 5 years ago I was put forward to cover a gig at The Barrowland Ballroom for a magazine who was short of cover. Thanks Stuart Westwood for suggesting me, thanks Calum from The Modern Record for giving me the chance and the rest as they say is history. Here are some pics from my first proper gig, me armed with my old crop D3300 and a 50mm prime lens shooting Dirty Thrills, Mason Hill and GUN on 2nd December 2017. Mason Hill GUN - Official

Been fortunate enough to photograph Glasgow's own Amy MacDonald a few times over the years, at the Radio 2 Biggest Weekend at Scone Palace, Perth, the intimate surroundings of King Tuts Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow and the cavernous Hydro Arena at the Clydeside.

Another highlight of my short time as a gig photographer was getting in the pit for Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, at the Hydro back in 2018. His show was incredible, a complete stage show, music, theatre, video backdrops, inflatables, just amazing, and to get to shake his hand at the end was the cherry on the cake. Took a while to get into Floyd, but their music is a first 'go to' when ive got the earbuds in on a long journey. Love it !! Roger Waters Pink Floyd

Back to the page, some random shots from over the last few years. Some say black and white images hide a lot of imperfections, but I think they add an atmosphere to the shot, and can transform an average photo to a great photo.

Was lucky enough to get the chance to photograph one of my favourite bands, Crowded House during the summer of 2022. They were fantastic, just a great band with great songs. Neil Finn is such a talented singer and songwriter, and they played all the classics. Fabulous!!

Couldnt have a page for my photographs without including The Modfather, Paul Weller. My musical hero since 1980, all thanks to a tape my old school pal Brian gave me of All Mod Cons and another pal Gary bringing The Jam's Sound Affects album round to mine to play after school. The rest, as they say is history. Paul Weller Paulweller Hq
