Beeston Festival
Reading Time: 2 minutesBeeston Festival in Crossflatts Park – I do like that all these events have their own distinct character. Beeston is big, but suprisingly roomy – it does not feel crowded and busy and there really is something for everyone. The main band stage is relatively understated, with feelgood music of a generally rocky nature. The main area of stalls and food is immense, with easily over 100 different stalls, mostly of a very community nature – tombolas, tat, plants, books and so on.
Kirkstall Festival
Reading Time: 2 minutesAnother of the big summer events in Leeds takes place in the grounds of Kirkstall Abbey – Kirkstall Festival has been running in Leeds for 37 years now, and attracts over 25,000 people. It has grown steadily, and has a good formula, with a large …

Paula’s Birthday
Reading Time: < 1 minuteSo this is a studio re-recording of my liveset that I made for Paula’s Birthday in Santiagos. After many many years of not playing live I have been revamping to create a more portable laptop based set. This was put together pretty quickly. But my planning and getting a series of stems for a number of my tunes has paid off.
Freightliners
Reading Time: 2 minutesI am not sure where this small obsession with Freightliners came from. I blame my son, and also they are very smartly liveried. If you like them we are lucky to have the maintanance depot in Leeds out on the Hallam Line to Wakefield Westgate …
Remedy Post Apocalypse
Reading Time: 2 minutesAnother Quick Images from The Underground update. The Latest Remedy, with Lab4 playing which was of course a treat for me!
Hyde Park Rooftop Panorama
Reading Time: < 1 minuteJust a quick on. I took this huge panorama of the rooftops of Hyde Park – kind of an extension from my previous rooftop images, but from above and on a larger scale.
Carnival 2016
Reading Time: 3 minutesWe managed both nights of the Carnival this year. I managed to squeeze some life from my Tamron Zoom lens and get some good shots of the Sunday night Concert. The weather was beautiful on Monday, though the light was against me from our chosen …
