Sad to hear Martin Parr has passed away. He was a tutor Gwent college when I was there many years ago. To say he was inspirational is a huge understatement.

An old Painting outside the Bayview Bar Dundee 05. This wall was outside @official_theview rehearsal rooms and the Bar that gave the Band their name . Above the painting are the 4 tracks they had at the time. Love

Really fucking gutted to hear that Mani has passed. One of a few of my genuine hero’s I’vebeen lucky enough to meet, work and hang out with. He was always kind and really funny. RIP Fella. Xx

Round about this time (6pm) 22 years ago @carlbarat78 and I were getting on a train to Chatham for the now legendary “Freedom Gig” at the Tap. He was possibly the most hammered I have ever seen him. Nervous excitement/relief/joy after Peters release from prison that morning.

This wonderful book is officially released today. Go out and buy it if you’ve not already. It’s the greatest book of its kind ever created, in my humble opinion. X

So I’ve been going through some unsorted negatives from way back. I think this is @manics from October 1992 - the “We are your sacrifice” tour?? Can anybody confirm?

Fabulous night with my good pal @raginfullon for his new @manics book #168songsofhatredandfailure. It was, of course, a feast of Manics stories told with great love and lots of humour. Lovely to see @jenny.cron and Hamish too! ❤️

Amazing to see these lovely people in person on Saturday @ash_1977. It’s been way too long. They were playing with 2 similarly significant bands from back in the day - @thecharlatans and @manics. ‘‘Twas emotional. Big love. ❤️

Had a feeling this was a looming anniversary. 10 years ago (last week) I went to Thailand to document @thelibertines record their 3rd LP, Anthems For Doomed Youth, at the incredible @karmasoundstudios. What was supposed to be a 2 week job turned into more than 10 weeks...for somewhat familiar reasons😂. It was, without doubt, one of the most memorable, frustrating, beautiful, stressful and wonderful jobs of my life.

Outtakes from a shoot with himself @peterdohertyofficial back in 2019. Before covid and just before the hotel was renovated judging by the walls. Happy Birthday for yesterday pal.x

Fave photo of one of my favourite people @onetruesaunders. His smile sums up some of the, frankly, silly things we got up to in the name music and football back in the 90's. On this occasion he had arranged a photo session with Creation artist Ed Ball with @chelseafc great (and sadly late) @lucavialli. The premise being they looked a bit like each other...This (first) photo still makes me chuckle every time I look at it. Andy is recovering eye surgery at the moment. Get well soon mate.x

A very youthful @nas shot in London in (I think) 1994 around the time of seminal and incredible Illmatic LP. As I remember it was a pretty quick shoot at his record label offices. Effortlessly cool.
