It’s giant gallery time. I had the urge to take lots of shots last year, hence the volume was up. Some years I was stationed in the Hot Press Chat Room, which explains why it seems like I was a slacker! Only remembered now, but last EP I was hammer and tongs out taking live shots. Very enjoyable it was too, and looking forward to this years installment. See you all there!

Bands I covered were Adrian Crowley, Archie Bronson Outfit, Bad Lieutenant, Brendan Perry. Dandelion, Fat Freddys Drop, Fever Ray, Gil Scott Heron, Heathers, Hot Chip, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Janelle Monae, Joe Echo, K Naan, Leftfield, Massive Attack, Modest Mouse, Mumford And Sons, New Pornographers, Public Image Limited, Seasick Steve, Stars, Steve Earle, Stornoway, The Alarm, the Fall, the Frames, The Waterboys, UNKLE and Wolf Parade.
