February soon swept by, I had a lovely short break, where I indulged in a little trip to Venice, partaking in a spot of sight seeing and a ride in a Gondola, amongst other things. Back in the bosses seat and catching up with the website once more....keep us in your favourites and follow closely you never know where we might lead you....
March was a round of whirlwind shows, photographing some brilliant bands, amongst those were singer/songwriter Jordan Reyne in Bolton, a wonderful photography experience. March was tinged with some sadness, as we learnt that Wigan band The Adjusters were hanging up their guitars and splitting in different directions, still good mates but wanting to do different stuff. We caught their last show in Wigan for a rousing finale and I grabbed two of the Guys for a photoshoot at an abandoned housing estate. Watch out for singer Ash as his tattooing is going to be even more extreme in the coming months...and we have been promised an exclusive on what they do next!
April saw us planning a Mudkiss Music Showcase event, at The Railway Venue in Bolton, scheduled for Friday Oct 5th, we''ll have more news closer to the time. We aim to have three very diverse bands playing and all will be revealed in the course of time. It was also another month of fantastic shows, we've hardly had time to draw breath.
The Mudkiss book is out and is selling pretty well so far - the book is published by lulu.com and is a non profit book.
