The Getaway Plan
They are back ! The Getaway Plan ! Top full-on, high energy show last night at The Metro. Took the full frame Nikon armed with my go-to 24-70mm and the Fuji S3 Pro loaded with the awesome Tokina f/2.8 11-16mm super-wide doozie. Have a look at The Getaway Plan and tell me what you think. [...]
The Cruel Sea
Icon old surf band of the last 23 years – Tex Perkins, Jim, Dan, Kenny and James all funked up Friday night down The Metro. Nice threads Tex. The Cruel Sea photos here.
The Pointer Sisters
Ruth Pointer (right) of the original Pointer Sisters, her daughter Issa (centre) and grand daughter Sadako put on a spectacular, full-on action show to a sold-out Sydney Enmore Theatre last night.

This Town Needs Guns

Steve Edmonds
Last night, favourite, Steve Edmonds – one of the best blues guitarists you will ever see.
Ginhouse On a Blue Sea

In today's shoot, I have tried to capture the atmosphere on board as well as depicting the band – vocals Tony Cini, drums Davo Fester, guitar PJ O'Brien and BillyBass – [...]
Phil Emmanuel On Fire
Australia's best electric guitarist, Phil Emmanuel – last night at The Burning Log, burnt up a Shadows set with the most beautiful sounds followed by a blazing selection of Dire Straits classics – plus the best version of Vangelis' Chariots of Fire I have ever heard. I just love the sound he gets from that [...]
