I headed off to Rotherham in Yorskshire to photograph the first of two back to back Mogwai shows. It was something of a treat as I am a big fan of Mogwai having been to over fifteen Mogwai shows since my first back in 1997 at The Astoria Theatre in London.

We were back at Junction 16 on Saturday in the sun and with a 10,000 plus crowd. It was an action packed set with constant entertainment on stage or on the huge TV. It was a very quick turnaround between acts with loads of acts entertaining the huge crowd. Jedward were a late addition to the bill and were very popular, climbing the speaker stacks and jumping down into the pit to get close up with the fans at the front of the huge crowd. Pixie Lott was also very popular.

Music Photography: Kendal Calling 2014 | Friday

We were both really pleased and excited to be photographing the Kendal Calling festival again this year. The festival won the Best Medium Festival Award last year and was back with a great lineup for 2014. We photographed many of the bands and DJs playing this year and were on site every day of the festival as we were at Kendal Calling 2013!

Sadly the weather was not so good this year meaning an awful lot of mud on the Cumbria site. The weather failed to dampen the spirits of the sell out audience however with fancy dress, mud football and a great atmosphere!
