Last of the highlights before I disappear into the ether, this one is about all about friends (aww). Thanks to all of you for helping me survive another year despite being a bit of a miserable sop. I don't say it enough but I love you all, see you at the next silly festival for some silly silliness.

Thanks to everyone who asked me to make them a poster in 2024! I thoroughly enjoyed the spectrum of briefs; especially the many horror film suggestions. I look forward to creating more wavy hand lettering and creepy-crawlies sketches this year.

I was archiving 2024's photos and realised I've hardly shared them on here, consider this a highlights reel without the reel. It's been an absolute pleasure to shoot so many talented bands both on and off stage. I can't wait to jump back into the photo pit this year! DMs open for bookings from Feb onwards 🫡

MARUJA!! If you haven't heard me gush about this cracking band IRL then we probably haven't met yet. I even joined the bandwagon in bullying @jamie_macmillan_photos to see them. I'll bully you all until you've seen them (and died in the pit). Scroll all the way to the right to see what Harry's favourite food is 👀 You can listen in to the full interview on @boogalooradio with @itsreallytilly this Sunday from 2-4!! #musicphotography #maruja #livemusic #musicfestivalphotography #greenmanfestival

Are you a shoegazer? Are you free tonight? You should go see ttssfu tonight at the Sebright Arms! Tasmin and her band were INCREDIBLE at Green Man, I highly recommend :) @itsreallytilly and I interviewed the band for @boogalooradio , you can listen to our Green Man special at 2 this Sunday!

Last year I took too many photos and shared too few. I wanted to share a reel of last year's highlights but I left my hard drive in London so enjoy this clip of shots from an afternoon walk. I love that Instagram suggested this @okay.kaya track, @akacharlie73 introduced me to her at visions festival and I had a big fangirl moment (I got nervous and ran away)

Apologies for the radio silence, there’s a lot of work in progress and I’m yet to figure out how to use Instagram. Alas, I want to thank everyone that showed up on October 13th for one of the most incredible nights we’ve had at Spotlight. You made it happen, without the audience we are nothing. Working with Big Camo, Chicken Picnic, Ex-Giant and Neuro Placid was beyond amazing. Thank you so much for your beautiful sets and your wonderful energy! If you were there and want more, or if you’ve never hung-out with us. Come to The Victoria on November 10th, you won’t be disappointed. Tickets are available through Dice at the link in our bio. Thank you @ronmcquade for this unbelievable photos! You’ve captured this Session’s magic beautifully! Les mando un abrazo, Jaime 💥

fun with friends and other goblins at green man 👍
