Am I a bad parent? I was a bit disappointed to find out that while the student protests were going on in London our daughter was in London…
…in a university lecture hall.
Anyway, a good excuse to include a photo that is sure to become an all-time classic and feature in many election leaflets for years [...]

Manu Chao in London
September 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Music
The mighty Manu Chao is coming to london next month to play at the Coronet on October 23rd – tickets went on sale today. Only £15 a ticket and its all for charity (Colombiage and some local Brixton organisations)
Very frustrating. I would love to go up and see him again, but there is a small [...]
Devil in Disguise
July 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Life
One last Vine review to clear the backlog. This time it is Devil in Disguise by Julian Clary.
I enjoyed it on a couple of levels. Apart from the story, there was a more personal level of enjoyment which was an element of nostalgia. Molly ans Simon, the two main characters, met while at Goldsmiths which [...]
A photographer not a terrorist

I forgot all about this event today. Apart from sounding like a lot of fun it helps get the message across to those policemen who have been interpreting the law a tad overzealously.

Must be time for another trip up to London – the Tate Modern have unveiled the latest in the Unilever series of artworks for the Turbine Hall: How It Is by Miroslaw Balka.

The Liberty of Norton Folgate
October 8th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Music
Tonight I caught up with the Julien Temple film The Liberty of Norton Folgate that I recorded when it was on BBC Four at the weekend. I already loved the album, a strong contender of album of the year IMHO. I played a couple of tracks on Spotify when it came out and went [...]
Big weekend

It has been a big weekend, with two late nights. On Saturday Jayne and I went to the middle of nowhere for a family wedding and then tonight I took Frankie up to London for some live comedy.
Spizzenergi 30th Anniversary Gig
September 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Music
Went to see Spizzenergi (again) tonight. I’m not keen on going ‘up west’ when I have to work the next day, but it was to mark 30 years since the first Spizzenergi incarnation, and having seen them on tour back then in 1979 I thought it would be good to make the effort.
As always it [...]

Lucky escape for the Trafalgar Square crowds
September 1st, 2009 · 3 Comments · Life
I received the email today that told me I was not picked for the final tranche of people to take their place on the 4th plinth as part of Antony Gormley’s One & Other. While I am a little disappointed, that is far outweighed by relief. I have seen quite a few of the past [...]
Zombies in Trafalgar Square
August 3rd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life
This afternoon I made the short journey up to London to go and see Andrew do his thing in Trafalgar Square as part of Anthony Gormley’s One & Other project.
I went for several reasons: to support Andrew, to support a good cause, to get some use out of my cameras, and because… well I have [...]
