2 Choices Live Video - ‘A Night To Remember’ - 16 October, 2008
That Was The Summer! - 16 October, 2008
With the summer sadly over and festival season coming to a close it comes time to move closer to home, (preferable by the fire, or arsoned car) and mull over a glass of Super Tennants, what a summer it has been.
After Secret Garden Festival not much could top my festival experiences but some came close…
The inagural Beachdown Festival based on the beautiful Devils Dyke surpassed all expections and became one of the real highlights of the year, and so close to home. The weather held out (in a very British sort of way i.e. it didn’t but it could have been worse!) and gave us impressive perfomances from great acts such as Golgol Bordello, Horace Andy, Carnival Collective, Fun Loving Criminals, De La Soul, Jah Wobble, etc etc… Check out the pics here if you haven’t already
Smaller festivals have included Loop
and Brighton Live
Photos from all of these events are on the website gallery pages and the facebook group page. Many have also been published.
Filling in the gaps between the festivals were numerous promo shoots, including new work for UpCDownC’s new release ‘Embers’
Promo shoots and single artwork for Captains of the Citadel, promo work for Black Thatcher (http://www.blackthatcher.com/home.html), The Shofar Quartet and The Shofar Allstars and PR work for music promoters including for the following nights -
Captcha - http://www.myspace.com/abbasipresentscaptcha
Showcase Live - www.showcase-live.com
Live and Love Music - www.liveandlovemusic.com
AND

On top of all this have been numerous commissions for local and national press, PR and magazines including The Guide, XYZ Magazine, The Argus, Starling PR and Brighton Music Scene.Com to name a few, as well as numerous other places where my images have been used through picture agencies.
Oh and i’ve just completed work on a live video for local pop rock band 2 Choices, watch this space……
PHEW! Now its time to get back to the studio!
Just a few smaller things coming up -
promo shoots this week for Captains of The Citadel
Promo shoot next week for AfterSpark
Press coverage for Brighton City Festival, with headliners Underworld, Jeff Mills, Nightmares on Wax and Brand New Heavies).
And that just leaves me to say a big thank you to all the people that have visited my site, and a big hello again to all the people I’ve met and worked with over the summer.
Watch this space for new work!
Peace

Finally I get a chance to update with a few of the recent activities that have been going on the last couple of weeks and a few new things coming up as well.

Captains of the Citadel played the Dublin Castle, Camden to a more than receptive crowd. Check the pictures here
Black Thatcher went back into the studio for a second ep and a promo shoot. Pictures Here

UPCOMING
The next two weeks sees At Home By The Sea (8th - 9th Aug) and Beachdown Festivals (22nd - 25th Aug) launch in Brighton. Keep an eye out for pictures!
