Kai Fish (Mystery Jets), Brel Bar Glasgow, Live Photos.

On the 23rd September, I went along to photograph Kai Fish (from Mystery Jets), at the Brel Bar in Glasgow. It's Kai's first solo performance tour, and I must say his set was pretty amazing. I was really impressed with his music, loving 'My Anima', everyone should go check it out. I'm pretty sure you can listen to a few of Kai's songs over at his official website.

I also loved the venue, it was an 80 capacity, and it was very tiny, everyone had to sit in rows of chairs like at a cinema. The setting was also very lovely, but I knew I was going to love it from the minute I entered the street, even though I didn't know the place existed before! It was down a really small alleyway, and reminded me of a street in France. Gorgeous!

Howling Bells, Oran Mor Glasgow, Live and Promo Photos.

Hi everyone,
Just thought I would post some photos I took at the Howling Bells gig, on the 19th at the Oran Mor in Glasgow. The photos were for Is This Music Magazine, who were also interviewing Juanita before the show, which I got to go along to and take some shots for the feature. If you want to check them out, I've posted them at the end.I hadn't seen Howling Bells perform live before, but I always wanted to see them, and it was a pretty awesome show. The lighting was also really good, which is always a plus when taking photos!



Here's the promo shots I took at the interview. If you want to check out the review and the interview on Is This Music, the link is, http://www.isthismusic.com/howling-bells-7
