Listened to poetry, played a few songs and then got my camera out to capture the gorgeous closing sets by @speedwaystartheband and @nevecariad . Thank you so much to @maddywaslurking for inviting me to this very special show in memory of your friend Evanne and to raise money for @brain_tumour_research . ✨❤️🙏

It was a beautiful event with lovely people. From a photography point of view, the uncluttered space with dramatic side lighting from a lamp and great silhouettes was a bit of a playground for me too! Enjoyed playing with layers… as you can probably tell! 😁

🎉🙌🏻❤️ Thank you Abbey Road Music Photography Awards! Delighted that my image of @makkmcevoy has been shortlisted in the ‘Portraits’ category. 🤯👌🎉❤️ @abbeyroadmpa @abbeyroadstudios

I’ve not entered a photography competition before so might retire now with a 100% shortlist success rate! 😄🎉 Genuinely surprised and delighted - thank you @abbeyroadmpa 🙌🏻 To have reached the last fifteen to twenty images from thousands of submissions across the world feels staggering for a photographer at such an early stage in their career. I hope this helps me continue to grow and do this thing I love. ❤️

Thanks also to @jglcreate for suggesting I enter and reminding me on closing day….and to my daughter for only calling me a ‘stupid idiot’ when I burst into her room at five minutes to midnight, waking her up, turning on lights and knocking things over to retrieve my computer charger in a panic! Kept my computer alive long enough to submit the entry with seconds to spare like a scene from a very low-budget Mission Impossible. 👌

🤞

Tour with Gordon is over! What a privilege and pleasure to have spent these last few days on the road with this guy. ❤️

Tour life has a way of stretching time somehow and the last week or so feels like a long adventure full of unpredictable emotions and events. Not everything went to plan and yet I’m just left with a feeling that it was somehow perfect too. We found ourselves with an unexpected gap in our schedule and ventured to the coast, introduced Gordon to my folks, swam in the sea, laughed and talked for hours, played songs and generally recharged. We ended in Hull with an audience of mostly family and friends and it was just the loveliest thing. So many incredible moments and I have zero regrets about any of it. Some shows were busy, others weren’t. It somehow didn’t matter - the company, the connection with others, the performances…and a deepening of a friendship… these are what I’m left with. Music is about connection and some of these shows were some of the most special I’ve ever played in my life. We played well and I’m confident anyone who came out enjoyed the shows - every show was attentive which makes all the difference so I’m very grateful to everyone who showed up or helped us run them. It’s been a wonderful thing.

Thanks y’all 😄

Massive thanks 🙏 to two brilliant musicians we we thrilled to host last night - Gordon McKinney @mckinneygordon all the way from Oklahoma and The Silver Reserve @silverreserve (aka Matthew Sturgess) from Yorkshire. We loved Gordon from his first visit here in 2022 with his wife (Hi, Heather!) and it was so good welcoming him back. Gordon and Matthew were a perfect pairing - they might sound very different but the soul and intent are the same: honest, heartfelt, hilarious, totally real music, with some mighty fine guitar work too! Best of luck y’all with the rest of your UK tour! Big thanks too to Sarah @sarahbanjomusic for saving the day with essential kit!! And THANK YOU to you fine folks for coming out and supporting live music. Wasn’t it great? #realmusic #villagepub
