10 years ago, I had the huge pleasure of photographing for Inglorious' management and was invited along to the band's press launch and the debut album release night that followed.
Along with photographing for MetalTalk, I had the time of my life.

Fast forward 10 years, the original line-up of Inglorious has reunited for a one-off gig at KK'S Steel Mill on 17 October.
MetalTalk caught up with Nathan James for a chat about the past, present and hopefully future dates with the original band.
(Sally - an Inglorious fan 'until I die'.)

Nathan James talks about the unexpected Inglorious reunion, the original lineup, the debut album and why the October show is strictly one night only.

Once a year, usually on the first Sunday in September, Bedford Esquires hosts the annual Beatles Jam. organised by local, renowned musician Mat Roberts.
How they all do this without rehearsals is amazing. Hats off to all the musicians.
I heard songs I hadn't listened to for years, but wonderful childhood memories come flooding back from growing up in a household with older brothers who loved The Beatles.

On Friday 7th August, I was so, so happy to be with friends' band 21stcenturyabbatribute to photograph their sunset show at Wimpole Estate NT. It was such a special evening, with beautiful weather and a wonderful audience.*

*No close-up crowd photos allowed due to National Trust rules, which was a real shame as so many people were dancing from the very beginning of the performance and clearly having as much fun as me :-)

We heard the sad news today that the fabulous Bonnie Tyler unexpectedly passed away in hospital in Portugal, as a result of the illness she had been treated for.
I had the pleasure of photographing and filming her at O2 in London when she played with Status Quo and Eddie & The Hot Rods back in 2012.
She was a real sweetie back stage and full of beans - and very happy to pose with the Rods when we all met in the corridor.
RIP Bonnie Tyler 08/06/1951 - 08/07/2026.
