Please sign up to my mailing list. I'll be using it to send out occasional updates, invites to book events and exclusive early access to new limited edition print drops - before the general public.

To encourage you, I’m giving away this A3 print of ‘The Way Up’, one of my favourite pictures from the book. The expressions on Damon and Graham’s faces, excitement and apprehension, capture not just the thrill of riding the rollercoaster but also the pivotal stage we had reached in our career.
I’ll be giving it to a randomly selected subscriber, so to enter all you need to do is follow the link in my bio and sign up by 4th March.

Thanks so much to you all for being here and supporting what I do.

I'm really proud of my latest drop of black-and-white prints from the very early days of Blur.

I've called the collection 'In Transit', because they feature the band on the move in the early 1990s.

This one's from Tokyo Railway Station, on our way to catch the Bullet Train.

The collection is available until midnight on the 20th May. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Dave Rowntree - No One You Know

Dave Rowntree was a member of Blur before they were Blur, joining up as drummer
with singer Damon Albarn and guitarist Graham Coxon when they were in various
bands in Colchester in the late 1980s. After Alex James stepped in as bassist, Blur
went on to become one of the most innovative and successful UK bands of all time:
both creating Britpop and then moving up and on from it in a way that no other band
has achieved.

Dave Rowntree: “The pictures I took are of a band right at the start of their career.
They’re of what we did between the gigs, interviews and photo sessions. They are of
us hanging out, relaxing, travelling, eating, and especially in the early days, drinking.
They are snapshots of what life in Blur was really like in the first few years when the
TV cameras and tape recorders were turned off. Obviously there isn’t much of the band actually working, because then I would have been working too. This is everything else.”
