I am eclectic music lover with a passion for gigs at grass roots venues up and down the country. Being a photographer, seeing a new band that just blows me a way in front of a crowd of 50 people is up there with seeing my idols at Reading or Download. It's the music and the performance that matters to me.

Gig Review: Gojira / Alien Weaponry / Employed to Serve – Alexandra Palace, London (Feb 22nd 2023)
Two years ago this gig was scheduled to be on on a Saturday and I was looking forward to getting down to Ally Pally nice and early and chilling out before the show.
