2009 - November
Stefano Bollani had a residence at King's Place in North London during the London Jazz Festival. I was able to make it to the last two nights.
Many thanks to Olwen Richards, Serious, and King's Place for cooperation.
Saturdary 21st November - Stefano Bollani and Visionari - a sellout, outrageously good performance by this quintet. Any one there was lucky! I know I was... Images at Stefano Bollani and Visionari at King's Place.
Friday 20th Bollani performed with Antonello Salis. An inventive, witty and enthralling evening. Images from rehearsal and sound check can be seen at: Stefano Bollani and Antonello Salis - King's Place.
2009 - October
A great concert by the new Tord Gustavsen Ensemble at the Royal Northern College of Music. For images click on Tord Gustavsen Ensemble at the RNCM...
2009 - September
King's Place is North London's most significant Music and Arts complex. The second King's Place Festival ran from September 4-6 2009.
performance - Images from the performance set can be seen by clicking on the link: Kings' Place Festival '09. A great three days of poetry, performance, music and discussion. The biggest cultural smörgåsbord in London!
rehearsals - Images from a documentation of the rehearsal phase can be seen by clicking on the following link: King's Place Festival, the rehearsal phase. They're very different from performance work, closer, more risky, somehow closer to the heart of the making of the music.
2009 - April
The Mathias Eick Quartet played at the Vortex in East London on the 28th April. Two great sets played to a packed house. Photos can be seen at: Mathias Eick at the Vortex.
2009 - March
ECM records celebrated forty years of music making with a series of concerts at King's Place, London between 18-22 March 2009. I was very pleased to be invited to document the series. The label has provided a sound track to my adult life - I can't imagine what I'd have been listening to without Manfred Eicher's inspired work. A documentation of each concert can be found at ECM at 40. I hope my contribution here is a fitting tribute to the achievement of the artists and the company which has brought their music to us. My thanks also to Serious who curated the week - John Cummings and his colleagues did a brilliant job.
2004-2008: An archive of my work in performance photography can be found at Performance 2004-2008. I hope that you like them.
