The Switchover, Chorlton Arts Festival 2016

May 23, 2016 by admin | Comments Off

Yesterday I got to play along with ‘The Switchover‘, a Theatre Exterior production by The Larks theatre company for Chorlton Arts Festival. Part theatre and part game, it involved travelling around the local metrolink network looking for clues and talking to various colourful characters.  As is usual in Manchester, we started off with glorious sunshine and ended with a torrential downpour but it was a lot of fun for everyone and a great and was a great experience for young and old.  Here are my images from the event.

Chorlton Arts Festival 2014

May 25, 2014 by admin | Comments Off

I’ve been photographing Chorlton Arts Festival for a number of years now and it’s always a blast. This year saw a great range of music, theatre, comedy and spoken word events, plus exhibitions and workshops across the M21 postcode. My personal highlight was the Blues & Gospel Tram, which commemorated the 50th anniversary of Muddy Waters, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and others playing an incredible live show at Chorlton Train Station in 1964.

This year I had the pleasure of shooting Rachael Dadd, John Smith, Bells in the Birches and Paper Aeroplanes, as well as the wonderful Blues & Gospel Tram. Here are a small selection of my favourite shots.
