Venue: Delamere Forest, Cheshire
Photographer: Simon J. Newbury

This was our first visit to Delamere Forest for live music photography. It’s certainly a great venue for live music and the weather was perfect. The Charlatans were playing a home gig and sounded amazing. They were supported by The View, Glasgow’s The Velveteen Saints and John Ainsworth.

We last photographed The Charlatans in Crewe. It was our first time with the View, who are using one of our live photos from Delamere on their official Facebook page! Here is a selection of live images from Delamere!

Venue: Jodrell Bank Observatory: Live From Jodrell Bank Transmission 004
Photographer: Simon J. Newbury

Quite possibly one of the best backdrops to a music festival, Jodrell Bank in Cheshire makes a wonderful setting and all the more nice in the summer sun! Simon J. Newbury Photography has photographed every ‘Transmission’ to date and this year the events were kicked off with the Australian Pink Floyd and Hawkwind.

We have photographed both bands previously and I know that both bands put on a wonderful visual show. Hawkwind have a series of fantasy characters and the light show put on by Floyd is amazing. It was also great to see Forecast on the bill. We have photographed them many times locally at The Box and even gave them their first ever gig at Boxjam a few years ago!

These are a few photos from Transmission 004:

The Eyres Promo/ Live Photography

Music Photography Boxjam, Cheshire, Crewe, Live Music Photography, Promotional Photography Permalink

Local band The Eyres have recently undergone a lineup change as well as a change in name. We have provided photography for the band in it’s Sink Or Swim guise. They have also headlined the charity event we organise every year at The Box in Crewe, called Boxjam. Since that performance there has been the changeover of members and the new branding of the band as ‘The Eyres’.

New members means new promo photos so ahead of an article in the local Chronicle and another headline slot at The Box we produced a set of images for the newly named band. We got a nice range of group shots as well as some individual portraits of the band members.

The Eyres have just released a new EP. Their logo was designed by Tina who as well as being a photographer at Simon J. Newbury Photography also does all the graphic design for our bespoke wedding books and does various logo and artwork designs.

These are a few of the promo group photos:
