Stormin’ the Castle 2018

Live Music  Posted by / 0 comments

It doesn’t seem like 12 months since I was packing my tent and heading away from a fantastic weekend at Stormin’ but with a day off work we headed to Witton Castle for my favourite weekend of the year. As always a good mix of bands over 2 stages with extra entertainment in the Hobgobblin tent too. Weather was brilliant, lots of friends to chat and drink with and lots of food consumed from the variety of food outlets, the Yorkshire Pudding wraps being a firm favourite.  Click on each link to see the band photos.

Durham City Street Photography

Lifestyle  Posted by / 0 comments

I’ve been to Durham city hundreds of times with work but never to do street photography.  Looks like I picked a good day as there was a live Cluedo game going on in the city so there were some interesting characters to shoot.

Beamish Open Air Museum – 2nd Visit

Lifestyle  Posted by / 0 comments

Rather than rush around trying to see all of Beamish in one day I decided that I would make 3 visits this year and this is the 2nd visit. I concentrated on the old town area and even enjoyed a pint in the pub.  A lovely day out.

Newcastle Hoppings 2018

Lifestyle  Posted by / 0 comments

It’s a Geordie tradition that goes back to 1882 and has for the last 10 years has been an event that is always in my diary to attend as a photographer.  Past years have usually meant walking through a foot of mud as it always rains on Hoppings week but this year saw high temperatures and lots of sunshine, perfect !

Ronington 2018

Live Music  Posted by / 0 comments

Ronington this year was a little more stressful to organise after the infamous “Beast from the East” covered the region in snow and meant having to cancel the show.  After regrouping, booking a few different bands and making sure everything was in place it was show time on June 2nd.  Crowd numbers were sadly down on previous years, a combination of the postponement,  holiday season etc but those who did attend witnessed 8 fantastic bands and a solo artist who all gave up their time for this worthwhile event. Thanks to all of the bands, Bakerland studios for proving the backline and all those who helped on the day and in the months preceding.  Lots of photos taken, lots edited and lots more to follow.

The second and final batch of photographs are now ready to view, click here to see them.
