...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Gathering together posts about music, gigs, events, exhibitions, museums and so on, which may be of wider interest. If you are not a total geek in the main creative subjects this is perhaps the place for you.
Reading Time: 2 minutesI got a tip off about this event, that a couple of contacts were playing at, that it may be worth a photography blag, which was successful. I’d not really been aware of Mush before, but it was a good blend of harder music and …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI went out to Light Night this year with the intent of doing quite a lot of photography, and indeed I did get quite a few interesting images on film cameras, which will be posted as and when. I spent quite a lot of time, …
Reading Time: 3 minutesSo, via a slightly roundabout series of events, I have ended up this last weekend at Hammerfest, a metal weekend at Pontins in Prestatyn, with my old boss from many years ago, and his mate. I like metal, though I have to say I didn’t …
Reading Time: 3 minutesI have been sent down to London for a meeting with DCLG about Deposit Protection Services recently. This is possibly about the most boring subject in the world, but any excuse to go to That London I guess. I met a friend there this time, …
Reading Time: 2 minutesAfter seeing and shooting them at Unity day I’ve been looking forward to this gig with the Sewer Suckers in Joseph’s Well – one of my teenage haunts. I’ve not been there for some time. I took these moody black and white shots of the …

Reading Time: 3 minutesBurlesque, as we know is big stuff at the moment, and for my friend Michelle’s wedding we were treated to some more. Darn Shame. This was at the Alea Casino down on Leeds Dock, which hires out a function space. It’s quite nice, but in …
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI am not really, so I like to say, a man for having heroes. However, in a very academic manner, one person for whom I have a lot of respect is Emiritus Professor Zygmunt Bauman. The School of Sociology has just run a conference to …
Reading Time: 3 minutesSo who knew that Todmorden had a festival. Actually, every Hick Town has a festival nowadays, so it’s not really big news. But we had to investigate… Given the grand idea to meet in Wetherspoons for a fry-up at 8am, which then degenerated to tequilas …
Reading Time: 3 minutesWe went to Opera in The Park, which was brilliant, and had me in tears when they opened with O Fortuna! from Carmina Burana. Much as I complain at times about Leeds Shitty Council wasting money, I think there are worse things they could spend …
