Music Photography: Ella Eyre – Albert Hall Manchester

The end of a very busy fortnight of live music photography was Ella Eyre performing live at a sold out Albert Hall in Manchester. As well as covering Liverpool Music Week we managed to fit in shows from Joe Satriani, Joe Bonamassa and Glenn Hughes. We also headed down to Birmingham to photograph Caspian on their UK and European Tour.

Simon was up in Manchester to photograph Ella, just after winning her MOBO Award for Best Female Act. Support on the night came from Flawes and Jasmine Thompson.

Tina covered this show as Simon was just down the road at the Liverpool Echo Arena to photograph Joe Bonamassa.
