I met @wanderingsoph_ whilst 📸 on the recent action packed/weather testing @ridgemonkeyoutdoors Influencer social. I’d not seen a Dacia Bigster up close before, it’s even got a fold away bed built in 💫 I managed to catch few shots before Sophie drove off into the sunset. She was very sad returning it and now really wants to buy one, well played @dacia_uk 🏆

At last we were blessed with some decent weather. Myself and Nick loaded up our packs with the gear from the vans and headed out into the mountains to Dulyn Bothy. A good hike in, a hot meal cooked up, and a proper catch up putting the world to rights. Nights like that remind you what it’s all about… good company, wild places, and a roof over your head in the middle of nowhere. ⛰️👊🏽 #bothylife #mountainlife #wildcamping #hikingadventures #adventuregear

Life on the road with no plans. Just grab your gear and see where the journey takes you. That’s the beauty of van life. Add your RidgeMonkey gear and you’re ready to roll wherever the road leads. 🚐🔥 #VanLife #VanLifeUK #RoadTrip #AdventureAwaits #OutdoorLiving

Still buzzing from our first camera adventure of 2026. We almost had The(spectacular) Honister Pass to ourselves. Successfully tested some of the innovative, space saving products which will be getting released in the next few months. #bigthingscoming

As the winter months draw in and the sunlight fades, we’re still holding onto the memories of summer. ☀️🌙 Tenerife gave us the adventures, the heat, and the views and the RidgeMonkey Outdoors team made it even better. Until next time… 🌋✨ #RidgeMonkey #RidgeMonkeyOutdoors #TeamRidgeMonkey #TenerifeAdventures #WinterFeels #SummerMemories #CanaryIslands #AdventureCrew #OutdoorLife #VanLifeGear #ExploreMore #HikingLife #TravelVibes #CampLife #AdventureCulture #GetOutside #OutdoorCommunity #GearThatLasts #BuiltForAdventure

It was so cool to see @nickmizen in the studio! When renting the space be sure to do some behind the scenes, and we’d love to showcase your work ♥️ #rentyourspace #chester #productphotoshoot

Greg Wilson is a DJ of the original disco era – his first paid booking, as a mobile DJ, was on Sept 20th 1975, before his inaugural club date in December, when still 15. turning professional on leaving school in the summer of ’76. The UK then had a Labour prime minister – Greg’s namesake, Harold Wilson. The Conservatives had just changed leader - Margaret Thatcher the first woman to head a major British political party. US president Gerald Ford replaced disgraced Richard Nixon, following the Watergate scandal, and the fall of Saigon brought the Vietnam War to an end. In football, Derby County were reigning champions and West Ham United, in an all-London FA Cup final, beat Fulham. Bayern Munich were European champions, beating Leeds United, whilst West Germany were the reigning World Cup winners. 1975’s biggest sporting event was the ‘Thrilla in Manila’ - Muhammad Ali defeating Joe Frazier in one of boxing’s great bouts. A snapshot of the UK’s musical landscape included artists like Elton John, Rod Stewart, Wings, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Status Quo, Bay City Rollers, David Essex, 10cc, Led Zeppelin and Queen, plus US acts like The Eagles, The Stylistics and The Carpenters. Played in all the best clubs, funk was largely absent from the chart – ignored by radio, bar a few specialist soul shows. Key funk acts included Earth, Wind & Fire, Fatback Band, Ohio Players, The Commodores and Kool & The Gang, with KC & The Sunshine Band scoring big with their infectious user-friendly Miami funk. Disco was evolving from soul and funk, with Gloria Gaynor, not Donna Summer, the original ‘disco queen’. DJs played 7” singles and LPs, the 12” still to be introduced, whilst the UK remained oblivious to New York’s beatmatching innovations, the NYC club scene largely underground - Studio 54 and the Paradise Garage yet to open. Disco music was more O’Jays than Bee Gees – ‘Saturday Night Fever’, and mainstream saturation, a few years ahead. During late-2025, and through into 2026, Greg will be playing a series of special gigs both in the UK and overseas to celebrate the anniversary, covering a spectrum of dance music that spans this past half-century.

A much needed break in the sun is drawing to a close. Bribed the kids into an attempted Banksy for our last sunset and went out this morning to catch the last sunrise, unexpectedly loads of youngsters that had been partying all night enjoying it also and i became their official photographer 🤪 Thank you everyone patiently waiting for photos or reply’s. Feeling supercharged and ready to get back in the groove🙏❌ #alcoseebre #banksy #banksyartwork

Ahead of this Saturdays appearance supporting @soul2souluk at the awe-inspiring @livcathedral , here’s a remarkable photo from my previous appearance there, back in 2017. Taken by @nickmizen , who’d positioned himself way up high, it illustrates the sheer scale of the cathedral, one of the biggest in the world. If you look closely, the tiny figure bottom centre is me behind the DJ booth. I’ve added a second ground level shot for comparison. If you’ve got your tickets, doors open at 6.30pm when legendary Liverpool DJ @lesspaine kicks things off, before I take over an hour later, ahead of Soul II Soul. The 2017 event was part of Liverpool’s ‘Light Night’ celebrations.

Shooting with @grahamscaife_ on Wednesday made me realise 4 months have flown by since my last post. Hoping everyone’s getting through the holidays. My editing pile is growing. Need a holiday to catch up. We’ve got this 🙏🤪🤔👀 #godoxusergroup #madewithmagmod #magmod

I’ve had a lovely self employed day off editing some shots from last week whilst a tremendous team roast was made and demolished. Enjoying the calm before a massive delivery arrives tomorrow from @ridgemonkeyoutdoors which is going to keep me and my mountain brother @glenn_kirkham busy for weeks. Can’t wait to get stuck into this, any excuse to go the mountains is a good one 🙏 I am gonna be in big trouble when it all arrives though 🫣🫣🫣 #magnetmod #magmod #magmodcommunity #bigthingscoming #godoxusergroup #ad200 #ad300 #nikonz9 #uk_ports #moodyportraits
