I have had so much fun at this years Bergenfest. The best thing about festivals is that it brings you in front of bands and music that you haven't heard of before and probably wouldn't have. My new favourite band in this category is Razika. Who I would describe as a female "Arctic Monkeys". They sing in Norwegian but please dont that put you off! K*

Yay! Melody's Echo Chamber were beautiful and awesome in Bergenfest 2013. Please have listen and find out more! K*

They put John Grant on the smallest stage at Bergenfest which was a shame as too many people couldn't see him. The queue to the stage was at least 300 people long by the time he started. I'm personally glad he was on the smallest stage. The music is always just better isn't it? I know nothing about John Grant other than he had worked with Sinead O'Connor. I left the stage as a fan! Have a listen to this song "GMF" - which stands for "Greatest Mother Fucker" - nice... K*

Nick Cave surprised the hell out of me at Bergenfest 2013. I had know his songs for ages, but didn't really know much about him. I thought that his show would be introspective and definite. What I witnessed, however, was a raucous and random. When he played "Jubilee Street" - the song that you can listen to below I thought he was going to erupt with energy. Amazing!  I like these pictures but they don't do him justice all! K*  

The Stone Roses were my favourite band that I thought I would never see. When they reformed and my long term gigging buddy JP bagged some tickets for their Manchester comeback gigs I was over the moon! When I found out I would be taking picture I couldn't contain my excitement. I had to include images of the Heaton Park crowd as well as the atmosphere that day was unbelievably special with high emotions and goodwill, evident of how well loved The Stone Roses are! K*

It was such a pleasure to take pictures at this Lenny Kravitz concert. This was my first from the photo in the scrum with the other photographers with a limited 3 song time period in which to take all of the pictures that I needed. I didn't expect the adrenalin levels to get so high especially when things went wrong! Part of the problem was inexperience and part of it was the fact 10 years worth of rain came down in that 3 song period. The rain ended adding to some of the pictures in a cool effects-y kinda way. No Photoshopping was done here! K*

Yeah! Tine Tempah was great! On an overcast day he managed to raise the spirits of everyone in the crowd, but that's easy when you have the tunes he has! K*    

Datarock play in bright red two piece tracksuits and I WANT ONE! I check their website at least once a week to see when they will come back into stock. These guys put on one hell of a live show and I loved it from start to finish with hyped up tunes and crowd surfing band members there is no lack of energy at any point. K*  

Charles Bradley was the surprise hit of Bergenfest 2012 and is back again so one of the reasons I'm looking forward to it so much! Bradley has been impersonating James Brown in small shows for most of his life and after a few false starts and lots of hard work released his debut album "No Time for Dreaming" in 2010 at the tender age of 61 (ish). He is great on stage and recommend seeing him live if he is ever playing near you! K*  

I recently saw Ocean of Lotion when they supported Datarock in Bergen Norway. The best way to describe them would be a mix between Queen, early Manic Street Preachers, Muse and Lego (- you know? The colourful bricks! ). They were a great band to take pictures of and had some sweet songs too! K*

Lewis Floyd Henry is the worlds best one man band. He specialises in Rock and Hip-Hop and works in fantastic mash-ups and cover versions. Try this Wu Tang Clan Cover out for size!  

In December 2011 a group of intrepid photographers and I took a tour around a Christmassy Manchester. Non of the photographers were ever seen again.... sorry I slipped into "Found footage" mode there for some reason! I hope you enjoy the pictures!  

These are are some of the Images I took at The Camden Crawl Festival in 2011 including the first appearance in the UK of Odd Future (Wolf Gang Kill Them All), Benjamin Francis Leftwitch, Cerebral Ballzy and John and Jehn - along with a trillion others of course. This tune is from Tyler, The Creator the honorary head of Odd Future. K*
