This past month

Has been a fairly quiet month but have done some more shots for the very versatile and talented Katy Setterfield & her very good backing band and singers (including my old friend Al Vosper). Katy of course won the BBC talent show The One and Only with her pitch perfect Dusty Springfield interpretation - she has since toured a show highlighting that. This latest tour shows a bit more of her vocal talent as she also appears as Annie Lennox, Cher, Tina Turner and herself and does an exceptional job in each case - this is a highly entertaining show and well worth a visit if you can grab a ticket.

I've also had the great pleasure of photographing Paul Young and Los Pacaminos again. This marvellous bunch of musicians rip through a Tex Mex repertoire that is a joy to behold. They have an absolute ball on stage and that fun is reflected in the night's entertainment which in this case teetered toward the excellent (despite the fact massive hangovers were apparently being fought off!!!). Smiles a plenty in both band and audience are once again why I would highly recommend thsi show - just don't expect any of Paul's singles to be heard (as a few girls along the row from us did!), that isn't what this show is about at all - pack your tequilas and take your shots...

Speaking of Al Vosper earlier, he and another old mate Ray Brown (one time of The Illegal Eagles) are making fortnightly sojourns to The Cricketers Pub in Southend (on the A13 next to Club Riga) and this is one of the best free shows you could hope to witness, two excellent musicians and exceptional singers covering every genre of music you could imagine - get yourself down there if you can, no regrets guaranteed (the last show saw songs by Crowded House, The Everly Brothers, Free, Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra and The Eagles).

Meanwhile more weddings are dropping into my calendar so the suicide pills are likely to creep out soon though one formal occasion did give me great joy this month as my lovely baby grand-daughter Abbie was christened. I am biased but she is one beautiful girl. Did a couple of other kiddie shoots and a couple of dog shoots too so the versatility is obviously growing - now if only i could get some stunningly sexy ladies to model for me I might forget about the bloody weddings.

Write again soon....
