The weather outside is frightful // Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Firstly, I’d like to inform you that… Now a little about my past week’s festive shenanigans: Last Sunday was the Sunday Service Christmas Special it was a most triumphant evening. If you’re a regular visitor to my blog you’ll probably have seen images I’ve shot for The Sound Gallery of local acoustic bands playing at […]

Dan Wilde Live Video // New Leads at Left Bank, Leeds • by Barnaby Aldrick

My buddy and all round skill musician Gavin Mart asked me along to photograph his ‘New Leads’ gig at ‘Left Bank’ arts space in Leeds last Friday. While I was photographing Dan Wilde (who’s played my Sunday Service night several times) Gav asked if I could shoot a little video and this is what I […]

Sunday Service // Mark Geary Special & October SS • by Barnaby Aldrick

Back in October the legendary Irish muso Mark Geary brought his pals Dan Wilde, Seamus McGloughlin & Ian Bailey to Verve for a special gig in association with my Sunday Service acoustic band night.  We’ve had Mark & Dan down before and they both simply amazing.  It may have been the hottest gig ever, because as […]

U2 • 360 Tour [Live @ Don Valley Stadium, Sheffield]

Last week I saw U2 at Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield, on their northern leg of the 360 Tour.  Myself & a few local photographers moonlight at rock togs in association with The Sound Gallery, and Phil tried his luck getting press-passes for the U2 show.  As it turned out, on the morning of the […]

Party In The Park [TSG]

Last Sunday was the 96.3 Radio Aire Party In The Park at Temple Newsam.  I was asked along by Radio Aire to photograph for The Sound Gallery. For me, PITP is a festival flavoured hors d’oeuvres for the Leeds Festival at the end of August.  It’s essentially a pop concert at Temple Newsam park in […]

May & June's Sunday Service [TSG Images]

Last weekend was June’s Sunday Service, my monthly acoustic night at Verve bar in Leeds. On the Glastonbury weekend we decided to have a blues special, featuring our old SS regular Ben Pike (http://www.myspace.com/benpikemusic), who plays a mean slide lap guitar and sings a mean bluesy gravel; bluesy deamons Matt & Sam from ‘Mojo 57’ […]

Mark Geary at the Sunday Service

You may know I shoot a lot of music with Phil Barber for The Sound Gallery in and around the North of England.  I also help run an acoustic night called The Sunday Service down in Verve Bar’s cellars on the last Sunday of every month.  Last month we flew over a very special Irishman […]

A long weekend in Ireland

I was lucky enough to be asked to Ireland recently to hang out with and photograph a band I’m really good friends with [in fact I used to play bass in this band once upon a time].  They booked Clare & I a flight and off we flew to get some promotional pictures for their […]

April's Sunday Service [TSG Images]

A few friends and I host an acoustic band night at Verve bar called The Sunday Service where we round up and serve what we think are is Leeds’s musical cream.  It’s only once a month and therefore not too stressful always hunting acts down and it’s a great opportunity to photograph the acts we […]
