The Silk Route have uploaded my photos from the November 2013 show to their Flickr Photostream (follow the links from the Silk Route Website). It was, as always a brilliant evening with some stellar performances. Contact me for details of the photos.

The next Silk Route show is Sunday 19th January and I'm looking forward to photographing the event again. Most of the dancers in January's gathering have danced at the show in the past and they are all of performers of incredibly high standards so it should be a great night.

Firstly, Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful time over the Christmas and New Year break (that's if you had a break!).

I went to see "Mick Underwood's Glory Road" back in November and took a few shots which I've posted on my Flickr Photostream. Anyone that knows me will be well aware that I'm a big fan of 70's and 80's rock music with Gillan being one of the first bands I ever saw live. Mick Underwood was the powerhouse drummer in Gillan and Glory Road play a lot of the old Gillan classics. Unsurprisingly this was my cup of tea and a gig I really enjoyed. The tracks have really stood the test of time and I would even say matured like a fine wine (or cheese....is there a bit of a food and drink thing going on?).

I haven't done much live music photography in the past but I was fairly pleased with the results although the need for a faster lens soon became apparent. So 2 of my New Year's resolutions are to take more gig photos and get a faster lens!

Here's to a great 2014.......
