Music Photography: Jessie J | Delamere Forest

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.

Live Music Photography | The South @ Crewe Lyceum Theatre

It was great to be photographing The South on their return to Crewe at the Lyceum Theatre. We have previously photographed The South in Birmingham at the O2 Academy and at The M Club in Crewe as The New Beautiful South. We recently photographed Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott at The Lowry Theatre in Salford so it been good to hear lots of Beautiful South songs recently.

Music Photography: The Hallé Orchestra Live from Jodrell

Event: The Hallé Orchestra Live from Jodrell Bank, Cheshire
Photographers: Simon J. Newbury, Tina Newbury

The fourth and final Transmission from Jodrell Bank in Cheshire this year was the wonderful Hallé Orchestra. A very different event from the previous transmissions and a different atmosphere. It was a night of proms, picnics and exceptional fireworks!

The Hallé said of the event:

A concert inspired by the stars will feature Jupiter and Mars from Holst’s The Planets, classics by Strauss, Mozart and John Williams, as well as a selection of out-of-this-world film music such as Star Wars, Independence Day, E.T., Apollo 13, Close Encounters and more.

The event was a fantastic way to wind up the festival season after a great summer of music photography for us here at Simon J. Newbury Photography. As well as all four Live From Jodrell events we photographed Kendal Calling, The Charlatans at Delamere Forest, The Happy Mondays at Junction 16, Betley, Sandbach Fake Festival as well as Crewe Live and the Nantwich Jazz and Blues Festival!

Here are some of our photos from Live From Jodrell, Transmission 007:

Simon J. Newbury Photography has now covered every Transmission from Live From Jodrell. This event was particularly special as Sigur Rós are one of Simon’s favourite bands! Another great event in the shadow of the giant Lovell Telescope with the perfectly suited music of the amazing Icelandic band. Sigur Rós played a near two hour set with yet another wonderful light show beamed onto the giant dish!

Daughter and Poliça made fantastic support to make for a wonderful music event in Cheshire which seems to be going from strength to strength!

Here are a small selection of our photography from Live From Jodrell Transmission 006:
