I promise I shall explain all soon…

Loads of people have been asking for the pictures from The Others at Rough Trade, here we go.

The last few days have been interesting to say the least.

Thursday: Carol Singing with Girls Aloud, The Others video shoot and Dustin’s Bar Mitzvah, Metro Riots and Special Needs at the Elbow Room.
Friday: Baby shambles Christmas shoot and Art Brut’s single launch.
Saturday: Graham Coxon being joined by Pete D at the Forum.

Of course I have pictures of all of the above, so now I’m going to sit in front of the computer and see what I can do about getting them online.

Last night was strange but fun. The Delays held a competition, the prize being a gig at the winner’s house. Tim Jonze asked me to go along and take some pictures, so I went, thinking it would be an acoustic guitar type affair. I certainly didn’t expect a full sound system. There was just about the right amount of people and a really good atmosphere, the gig sounded great and there was plenty of free alcohol, what more could one need? Enjoy the pictures.

I spent most of Saturday wandering around Manchester with . There are some amazing abandoned buildings just outside of the main shopping areas, so of course I got some photographs, after that we met up with The Longcut and I took a few posed shots with them.

Photographs of The Longcut live at the Bier Keller in Manchester.

Pictures of The Rakes in the studio, taken for NME.

Pictures of Conor Oberst from last night at the ULU.

Selfish Cunt pictures from their support slot with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs were great last night, it was a weird gig to photograph because there was no photo pit, so I just ended up taking pictures from the crowd (My apologies if I got in anyone’s way!). The show was chaotic with plenty of crowd surfing and people being forcefully thrown from the stage back into the crowd, here are the pictures.
