PUNCHBAG, outside The Lexington in London, before the packed-out final show of their UK tour. Only marginally putting them in peril crossing Pentonville Road a few times. Fantastic stadium-sized energy in the show.

Raining Blue, backstage at Picturehouse Finsbury Park, before her excellent set in the Club Room, which projected really cool visuals over her music. Glad to finally include Camille in the project :).

Pet Shop Boys, at Electric Ballroom in Camden, London. Shot after soundcheck for their 4th of 5 sold-out "Obscure" shows, which each featured setlists of non-single album tracks, B-sides, and fan favourites. A really lovely shoot; we tried a few setups and this daylight / non-flash version was the winner.

Girl Group, after their in-store and signing at Rough Trade East in London, in support of new EP "Think They're Looking, Let's Perform / Little Sticky Pictures". I'd only lucked upon their music the day before, so was really happy I managed to catch them play, and they were kind enough to give me some time after the double-whammy of doing a set + signing. They put on a great show.

Oh He Dead, backstage before their show at The Courtyard Theatre in London. I'm a sucker for a good band name and theirs stood out when I was scouring the gig listings. So glad I checked them out. Was a fantastic set, and a lovely shoot. Definitely go see them next time they pass through town.

Cordelia, at The Blue Basement (downstairs at Third Man Records) in London, before her sold out show there during Independent Venue Week, and on the release day for her latest single"Crying At A Wedding". I'd seen Cordelia support the ace Sophie May at EArtH back in December 2025, and she very kindly gave me some time around this show to take part in the project.

Million Dead, backstage at Circuit in Kingston upon Thames before their show with Banquet Records, which kicked off their first tour in 20 years. I'm just about to head out to catch their last show at Electric Ballroom tonight.
I'd previously photographed Ben in Mïngle Härde, and Julia in Future Of The Left. This shoot also places Frank back in the lead of "Most Polaroids in the Project", at an almighty 4. So Thomas Mitchener, Joey Cape, Joe Goddard, Laura Mary Carter, and James Smith are each just going to have to form new music projects in order to compete.
