Posted on June 8, 2011
We’re teaming up with High Voltage, Thin Lizzy and Planet Rock to offer an amazing opportunity to see what it’s like to be a professional rock photographer at a major music festival and receive a one-to-one tutorial in the photo pit from Nick.
You can win two VIP tickets to High Voltage, the chance to photograph Thin Lizzy before their Main Stage slot (with a little tutelage from Nick), a chance to watch Lizzy’s set from the photo pit where you’ll get the best possible view of the band in action (and obviously a chance to photograph them under Nick’s guidance) plus you’ll get a bundle of Thin Lizzy swag.
Want a go at winning? Enter the competition on Planet Rock’s website.
Nothing Saintly About Rock

No, we’re not trying to bring a Saint into disrepute, he’s already rocking in Birmingham!
The wonderful St Pauls Gallery, which specialises solely in music wall art, will be representing Nick’s work and we’re really excited about it! We’re getting an exclusive collection of limited edition images together especially for their customers and will let you know when they’ll be ready for you to pop along and have a look at.
In the meantime, here’s what Symon Bland, Owner at St Pauls Gallery, had to say about it:
“We are delighted and excited to be working with Nick as we have admired his work for some time now. His ability to bring these stills to life is testament to his skill behind the lens and adding his repertoire of images to St Pauls Gallery is a pleasure and privilege.”
Welcome to the show!
Quote a lovely thing to say…

We’ve been rcceiving some lovely quotes from the folk community about Nick’s images in the newly released book: TEN – A Decade In Images.
Here are just a few…
“A great book of photographs from one of the greatest folk festivals in the world. As a fellow photographer I am more than a little jealous of Nick’s work. His images capture the atmosphere of many, many magic moments.” Mike Harding
“Nick’s talent is in capturing a unique moment in every artist’s performance that takes you to the very place their music belongs. I’m very fond of his photo of me at Cambridge, I look pretty relaxed and I was surprised he managed to capture a rare moment when my eyes were open while I was singing. Very few have done the same so well.” Cara Dillon
“I have had the good fortune to perform at Cambridge Festival many times since the early 90s and I have great memories of each one. Nick’s book of photographs captures some of these memories and brings them to life once more. I am honoured to be included in such a brilliant line-up. Thanks Nick.” Sharon Shannon
Thanks to you all, you rock!
On Air!

Cherry Good Indeed
Posted on May 24, 2011
Yesterday, Black Stone Cherry launched their third album, Between The Devil & The Deep Blue Sea, with a very special intimate acoustic performance for a few dozen Planet Rock listeners at the British Music Experience in London.
The band performed songs from their new album along with a handful of first and second album classics requested by the audience, including a remarkable performance of ‘Things My Father Said’ which the band re-learned live onstage after forgetting the chords.
Nick was invited to shoot the gig – take a look at his images of this special event.
