Posted on August 12, 2020
A hot sunny day and a burger on the beach was a welcome prelude to the two heavyweights of the music and rock photography Industry, discussing an exciting new collaboration that will continue Nick Elliott’s Rockumentary series.
As Nick’s Rockumentary projects with Earl Slick and Ed Graham draw to a close, Nick has found himself in the exciting and unique position to choose select individuals within the music industry to photographically document and continue his series of fine art photographic publications.
Great Yarmouth’s jewel in the crown, Jon Peach Is a singer songwriter who has carved an enviable and well respected career within the music industry. Writing and performing with ‘Pray for the Buffalo’ and ‘Junk Shop Poets, Jon has just completed his phenomenal solo project ‘Love Songs For Losers’, which was born out of his passion for beat poetry and storytelling love songs. The Rockumentary, taking approximately one year to capture, allows Nick to shadow Jon during shows, rehearsals, recordings and leisure time.“
“I’m really looking forward to working with Nick we are going to have a great time, do or die it’s going to be fucking fun’!
Jon Peach Singer/Songwriter.
During the production of the Rockumentary, there will be an opportunity for Nick to shoot some surprise guests that Jon will be working closely with over the next year.
“I think this project with Jon will turn out to be a fabulous body of work, plus I think we’ll have a real blast while working together over the next 12 months. Jon has a fantastic look and that is such a big part of the Rockumentary project’s that I do it’s going to make a fabulous book’!
“I’m mad for it”!!

A Night In With Nick Elliott…
Posted on July 25, 2020

Nick’s inspiration for the show was born from an early age, late nights under the covers listening to pirate radio stations, Radio Caroline and Radio Luxembourg. More recently American FM Radio stations particularly Radio Paradise have fuelled his vision to recreate these important times.
“The show has evolved since it began. It has become more stylish and seductive. I want listeners to relax and come on a journey with me in the crook of my arm.”
Nick Elliott Rock Art Photographer…
“The new style show will feature a predominately an all Amercian playlist like no other, sprinkled with interviews from music artists and stories from me and my friends. The kind of tunes I’ll be playing will be the music to get lost in, to make love to, to relax to, it will flow through you, it will remind you that life is good.”
Nick Elliott Rock Art Photographer…
“The Country Rock Show With Nick Elliott “is an completely new show and is a collaboration with my dear friend and Amercian agent Lee Williams.”

Pandemic on the Dancefloor…
Posted on June 2, 2020
The COVID-19 Pandemic has derailed the music business causing destructive soundwaves Ripling out and destroying years of music workers livelihoods.
Nick has voiced his concern on the ensuing Pandemic and the long-standing effects it will have on the live music business and his friends within it. “ the Pandemic has ground the U.K.’s multi million pound music business to a halt, causing catastrophic knock on affect to everyone associated within the industry. Not only affecting artists but record labels, independent recording companies, freelancers, venues, festivals and agents. This year could change the face of the music industry for ever”
Nick Elliott Rock Art photographer
Thousands of festivals and tours have been cancelled or postponed leaving creatives and their fans feeling uncertainty for the future. The music and entertainment industry relies on their heavily freelance creative workforce. The loss of their income, usually for completed work only, may force many creatives out of the industry forever. Many talented people could find themselves redeployed into vocations that do not represent their talents, which will be a total loss for the UK’s music industry.
“ I’m particularly worried about the new aspiring musical acts who rely on live music festivals and tours to showcase their talents and get a footing on the music ladder many talented artists may go undiscovered“
The rise of music streaming, virtual live shows, podcasts and FB streaming is encouraging and many have found innovative ways to keep the music live and to keep fans listening.
Nick Elliott Rock Art Photographer
“ I think that once we come out of the other side of this, the music industry will experience a boom. If artists and their associated workers can survive this brief period of hardship there is a potential for the music industry to begin to thrive again as fans flock back to the music scene.
Life without music is like a life without love“

Dead Reynolds were one of the new up-and-coming Inspiring acts playing at the Dukes Head Ballroom, Kings Lynn’s Marketplace on Saturday the 22nd February.

Callum (Lead Vocals), Ben (Bass Guitar), Dom (Lead Guitar), Luke (Rhythm Guitar), and the band’s drummer Luke, collectively known as Dead Reynolds have been together for just two years, but the chemistry and the talent that Oozes from their performance is indisputable.
The event hosted by Triston Finnis Owner of Twisted Melon Promotions, showcased 10 new musical acts that wowed the audience.
Although this years Kings Lynn festival Too has been unfortunately postponed, next years event will be better than ever. The festival also promoted by Twisted Melon Promotions, will feature a ‘Battle of the Bands’ event and our very own Nick has been invited onto the judging panel. Hopefully Dead Reynolds will find time in their busy schedule to give the crowd a musical treat as they did last year.
If you can’t wait that long, catch the new single ‘Line’s’ on YouTube.
Triston’s five-star alternative and new music radio show can be heard weekly, belting out some superb tunes on KLFM Loaded with Triston on 96.7fm.

Q & A Time With Nick Elliott…
Posted on May 1, 2020
Got a Question for Nick?
He will answer it in his typical Rock n’ Roll style with no holds barred.
1. Who was the main inspiration for your art?
” My Dad! and of course the legend that is David Bailey. Dad brought me my first camera and fanned my passion for photography. David Bailey showed me what could be achieve and how I needed to push boundaries”
2. Do you prefer film or digital photography?
Each method has it’s own values. Film can be more unpredictable and you do really have to know your stuff to shoot a good film image , with shutter speeds, exposure, etc. Digital is instant, requires less expertise, but it possible to achieve a different feel.
3.How many bands have you worked with?
“Too many to name them all. Everyone from Blondie, Metallica, Alice Cooper, Motorhead, Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey the list goes on.
4. What is your favourite image so far?
“I don’t know, I’ve not taking it yet. I’m always striving for perfection and bettering my art I need to move the line, to make a mark”
5. What has been the most difficult shoot you’ve ever done?
“Probably all those shots while I was working in advertising, big commissions that could take days to set and light, before I had even pressed the shutter.
Please send all your questions to Nick Elliott’s P.R at benicebond@icloud.com and we will feature them in the next article.
