Slam Dunk Midlands 2013

Last year I was gutted I didn't get to go to Slam Dunk Festival, so this year as soon as they announced a Midlands date in Wolverhampton I requested to shoot it straight away.

Having shot both Hit The Deck and Slam Dunk Festival this year I found that Slam Dunk definately had the better atmosphere and line-up. I had such an amazing day and it was so much fun to shoot. Being able to sit and watch bands from the upstairs of the civic and see the crowds go mental below was ace too, and of course I made sure I got some shots from the top too.

Here's some of my favourite shots from the day across Wolverhampton's Civic venues. The full set of photos can be seen on my Flickr and my photos alongside Emma Dearie's review of the Hatfield date can be seen on altsounds.com

The Kerrang! Tour 2013

I'd been hoping I'd get to shoot this gig since it was announced. I wasn't that fussed about the line-up of Black Veil Brides, Fearless Vampire Killers and Tonight Alive, but could not miss the chance to see and shoot Chiodos. Saying that I knew that shooting Black Veil Brides would definitely be worth it with their styling and make-up and so was super excited when I got confirmed for this show.

After shooting this show I decided that Tonight Alive are my new favourite band ( gotta show a bit of love for female fronted pop-rock bands) and that Black Veil Brides are actually quite good live and are as expected, an ace band to shoot and I would definately take up the opportunity to shoot them again.

Fellow AltSounder Candice Haridimou did a review of the London show and used my photographs. The review and photographs can be seen here.

Here are a selection of my favourite shots from the show. The full sets can be viewed on my Flickr.
