The Priest Feast

Last Saturday I headed off the the LG Arena at the NEC to photograph Priest Feast, featuring three legends of metal - Judas Priest, Megadeth, and Testament. I was covering the gig for Birmingham Live and you can see the review right here. First up, some pics of Testament.

Second on the bill, Megadeth who riffed and shredded their way through their one-hour slot in front on a wall of Marshall amps - very metal!

Then it was down to the Priest to round things with a hometown performance. One word can sum them up - metal!

That's it for Priest Feast, hope you liked them. If you did, please leave me some comments! Next blog will hopefully be picstures of A Day to Remember in Birmingham, until then stay safe and hope to see you back here soon.

Status Quo! De Dun De Dun De Dun De Dun...

Merry Christmas everyone! Last Monday I shot my final gig of 2008, and chose a great one to finish on - the mighty Status Quo, who played the LG Arena as part of their 40th anniversary tour. I was covering the gig for Birmingham Live, and you see my review and some other pics right here.

This was the first time I'd seen the Quo live, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. They are a true British institution, and it was a joy to shoot them.

If any of you are wondering where my promised pics of Biffy Clyro are, then I'm sad to say that I didn't get to shoot them in the end - my pass only let me in for the support act. Very annoying, but hopefully they'll your again soon and I'll get to shoot them. Here's some more Quo pics.

It was great to finish my photographic year by adding another big name to my portfolio - I'll be posting a review of 2008 next week sometime highlighting all of my favourite gigs and photos, so check back here then!

If you like these pics, please leave me some comments at the bottom of the page! Here's a few more...

...and some more!

And that's it for the Quo. I also found out last week that Practical Photography Magazine are going to be doing a small feature on me in the March 2009 issue, so make sure you get yourselves a copy when it hits the shelves! Merry Christmas, and all the best for this festive season.
