Drumz of The South Kickstarter launched

Yesterday I launched the Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds to send my first ever photobook “Drumz of The South: The Dubstep Years (2004-2007)” to print. The campaign has gotten off to an incredible start – as I write the bid amount is just over £8k. I am over the moon with the response. There is still some way to​ go as this is an ALL OR NOTHING crowdfunder campaign. Please take a dive…

My good friend Breezy, (singer and mother), is travelling to the Greek Island of Lesvos this week, to support the thousands of refugees that are there living in terrible conditions.

28th November – Live from Alexandra Nurseries…

Being compelled to share GREAT music is how Drumzofthesouthbegan; -then, posting photos and words about music that was getting right into my system led me to organise events at Brixton’s Plan B, a tent at Antic Banquet festival and many, many events in and outside of Crystal Palace’s Antenna Studios. I am now taking up the baton from Katherine & Charlie Hannah (Itchy Teeth) and organising the next

More Music History in photos... Acid House Ravers + More

Photos of very happy ravers during the Second Summer of Love (1988-1990), by David Swindells, via Mashable http://mashable.com/2014/11/15/acid-house-raves.

Wonder if they knew how influential that music would be, or how much people that were too young to be there, wish they were older!

The photos led me to PYMCA (Photographic Youth Music Culture Archive)… I got lost there for a while. They’ve…

Talking to Hark...

Speaking to Hark...

“When I started photographing the dubstep scene, you could smoke in clubs. We took that for granted. Smoking in clubs, I’m pretty sure affected the music in clubs and affected the way you’d experience it. Then the ban came in and then the scene changed in a way. Now you look back the pictures and you’re like, oh god people are smoking in doors. That’s a good example of the wider political…

Many of us can rap the entire Waterfall’s rap too (looking at you Clare C). Bette Midler didn’t try and attempt it on her recent…
