More Artists Praise TEN And Nick’s Images
Posted on July 11, 2011
Thanks to ex-Pulp member Richard Hawley and Cambridge Folk Festival star Bella Hardy for your fabulous quotes for TEN-A Decade In Images:
“Nick’s photographs capture a festival performance feeling which is so hard to put into words; it’s something primal, a feeling fuelled by adrenaline and fear and the way the crowd spurs you on. It’s an honour to be included in his collection.” Bella Hardy
“Proof that I do set up my own equipment! I like this picture – when all the bullshits done with, it’s good to be shown for what I am; a guitarist first and foremost. It was a real privilege to be asked to appear at Cambridge; it has a great history so it’s lovely to be a small part of that. And the audience were amazing – it was a special day for me.” Richard Hawley
Only 18 days to go the book launch and counting. If you’re yet to order your book, hot foot it down to publisher Rufus Stone now http://tinyurl.com/6gw5vn9

He’s A Winner!

Congratulations to Matt Brand for winning the Planet Rock competition to shoot Thin Lizzy at High Voltage under the expert guidance of Nick.
Nick’s looking forward to meeting up with Matt and giving him the benefit of his experience shooting some of the world’s biggest bands in the photo pit to help Matt get the very most out of photographing Thin Lizzy during their set.
See you there, Matt!
“Warm Evocative Photographs”
Posted on June 23, 2011
Nick’s newly released book: TEN – A Decade In Images is still receiving some fabulous quotes.
Here’s what the BBC’s Mark Radcliffe has to say about it…
‘These warm and evocative photographs perfectly capture the intimacy and authenticity of a warm, evocative, inimate and authentic event. As I look through them I am anticipating going back to Cherry Hinton with even more delight than usual. I was tempted to say that if you wanted to know what Cambridge Folk Festival was like then these pictures say it all but that would be stupid. You have to listen to the music of course. But while we wait for that to happen again in July, these photos whet the appetite splendidly’.
Thanks Mark!

All you have to do is to send in the most rock ’n’ roll photo of anything you like to photos@planetrock.com but it has to be before the deadline on Monday, so you haven’t got long!
