Day two of the Rewind Festival North meant no let up in the quantity or quality of bands and artists taking to the stage. China Crisis got the show started and the turnaround continued at pace until Holly Johnson stepped out to headline the Sunday and bring the festival to a close. Doctor & The Medics front man Clive Jackson continued in his role of compere for the event and event filled a bit of space with an impromptu rendition of the number one classic “Spirit in the Sky”. He also posed for a quick portrait backstage!

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!

We were commissioned to photograph two of this years Delamere Forest Live gigs. First up was Jessie J complete with support from Belfast’s Leah McFall (known from The Voice).

We were blessed with nice weather and even the technical difficulties on stage failed to dampen the spirits of the sell out crowd at this wonderful location for an outdoor music event. The yearly events are held by The Forestry Commission.
