Was very sorry to hear that Hidden Mothers and vocalist/bassist Liam Knowles are parting ways after their shows next month. Have been lucky enough to catch the band a few times live, and have always loved their sets. Wishing the band and Liam the very best for future adventures and will hopefully see you on a stage again soon 🤘🤘

Here's a shot of the man himself at Uprising 8 in the O2 Academy Leicester last year, another cracking show.

Having seen a few shows in the last couple of weeks I am itching to get the real camera out to shoot again, but thought I'd share these shots from the excellent Geoff Tate Operation Mindcrime show in O***m Live recently. Great band great music and great people. These are just some phone pics that were memories of a great night.

The mighty Danes of BAEST return to Dublin's The Sound House in just over a month for a headline show. Here are some unpublished shots from their set supporting Bleed From Within in The Academy earlier this year. Don't miss out on this one, should be a cracker.

I wrote a review of the Geoff Tate Operation Mindcrime show in O***m Live, Dublin on Saturday night, and it's live over on Metalplanetmusic now at the link below. It was an awesome show, great atmosphere and also a great support from Tomás McCarthy. Hope you like it and feel free to share the link.

When Geoff Tate initially started touring the classic Queensryche album Operation Mindcrime, I really wasn’t sure how well it would work, but it only took one show to solve that, and he has continued to to

Wasn't shooting the show tonight, so this is just a phone snap, and not the most flattering you will see of the wonderful Geoff Tate from tonights stunning show in O***m Live, Dublin. But there was so much work in the show, the incredible vocals, the theatrics the band, I think this is one of those moments he's doing his thing. Take a bow Mr. Tate once again, brilliant.

It has been far too long since I last saw the legend that is Geoff Tate live, so really looking forward to the Dublin show in O***m Live this weekend. One of my favourite singers and with Queensrÿche creating one of my al time favourite albums in Operation Mindcrime, if it's the last time hearing those songs live I will enjoy it all the more. Revolution Calling 🤘🤘

A shot of Slash from his show a couple of years ago in the 3Arena, Dublin. Always great to see him play, don't take these things for granted, make sure you catch him next time around.
