Bryan Adams was back in the Toon this evening celebrating 20 years of ‘Waking up the Neighbours‘ with his biggest stage setup since the Early 90′s, and a whopping 2 hours and 15 minute set length !

I’ve been waiting for this moment since I first heard ‘Pass Out’ nearly a year and a half ago. Tonight – the Wonderman himself is here to play, and it’s the gig I’ve been most looking forward to in 2011 !

There’s nothing else I can really say other than tonight I got to photograph one of my all time heros.
Ladies and Gentlemen. Slash …..
Fightstar favourite Charlie Simpson came to Academy 2 this evening, and I had the pleasure of shooting the show AND grabbing some portrait shots beforehand.
If you haven’t had chance to hear any of Charlies solo material then I suggest you do so. Young Pilgrim is the name of the album, and it could just be up there as one of my favourites of 2011.
It’s a sell out in the Toon tonight and there’s a lot of hype for this evening, in particular for Avenged Sevenfold. As the lights go out and their intro hits, the curtain thats been disguising the stage since the exit of Stone Sour suddenly drops. We’ve got a fully fledged graveyard (complete with headstones and flame throwers), and the whole place is filled with smoke. Synester Gates slowly walks on stage performing the intro to Nightmare, and the whole place erupts
In only it’s second year of existance, Sonisphere 2010 was something of a powerhouse. After being left severely dissapointed with this years under performing Download Festival, Sonisphere restored my faith in the Festival experience.
Woah I’ve missed these guys ! Fun Lovin Criminals are back after a 5 year hiatus and you just know tonight it’s going to be all good in the hood !

Paolo Nutini appears to be a bit of a musical chamelon to me at times. His first album ‘These Streets‘ put him firmly in the camp of ‘safe’ songwriting legends such as (*cough cough* ah-hem *cough cough*) David Gray and James Blunt, but his new album ‘Sunny Side Up‘ crosses many a genre boundary and is probably enough for now to keep him a little bit different from the pack. One things for sure, he’s adored by his fans !

Dizzee Rascal may be more pop idol than underground grime hero at the minute, but it’s been a long slog for the boy from East London and he’s had to win non-believers (such as myself) round on his way to the top.
He’s not doing badly like – the queue for the Academy is round the block and back tonight !
