On New Year's Eve 2010, I was delighted to shoot Kate Miller-Heidke.
Here is Johnny Wishbone from the ever-so-colourful and disrespectful Snowdroppers.
... and here she is, star of TV's Spicks 'n Specks, Megan Washington performing with her great band Washington at The Bellbird, where I shot her for Home Brew Radio ...
... you may recognise both Martin Rotsey and that battered Fender Jazzmaster from Midnight Oil, now reformed after pointing Peter at the Parliament, as The Break ... wipeout, halfway between The Chantays and the Beachboys .. which I guess is where The Oils started, in surfrock.
.. and Ella Freestone, 18 and as talented as she is delightful, at Pro Guitar and Sound where you can buy the best guitars and gear in Sydney from the people who play them ...
At Thompsons Square Gardens, I shot the legendary Kevin Borich ...
I was lucky to find bassist Suzie Bambach (pictured) and Ellie Plummer (daughter of well-known festival photographer Noel Plummer) from Paul Greene and The Other Colours at the Illawarra Festival.
.. - and here's Phil Eammanuel at the opening of Pro Guitar & Music in Hornsby
.. adding some glam, Phoebe Juskevics on the drums and tinkle for Adam Hole & Marji Curran Band at the Fitzroy Hotel
... and in the blue light, Jan Rynsaardt of my fave rave band of the moment, Chase The Sun at The Macquarie Arms ... one of the best bands in Sydney .. get out and see them
One of the very best acts at the Peats Ridge Festival was Love in the Circus.
Strange and eerie, fronted by the sultry Leanna Rachel, who also swings a big bass, this is a hybrid act with a lot of front including dancers and bizarre presentation. To me, the band sounds like The Motels, sprinkled with Sade. I like this stuff.
The music is a sort of gentle soul {like Martha Davis' Total Control} within a multi media performance. Regan Remy, on the harp {see her in the photos in the album in the sidebar}, creates a bizarre sight and sounds, with her great makeup and mask - and then there is troupe "Tuju Taksu" dancing around - plus trumpeter Johan Asplund. Excellent.
... and here's the Delta Riggs, performing at The Underworld, led by the oh-so-colourful, smoking brave, Elliott Hammond
.. more photos as they happen by going to the individual band photo albums listed in alphabetical order in the sidebar.
