I also shot Blaze Bayley at Fuel in Cardiff but that was for a Classic Rock feature that should be out in the next couple of weeks.
Next months gig shoots will be Butcher Babies, Anneke Van Giersbergen and Chris Cornell :)

Yes, but where's the biscuits?
Wot Mikey said!
:-D I meant I can't wait to see your pictures of Anneke, but that's true I also can't wait to see the gig !
About cake someone made a brookie today @ work (half brownie, half cookie, 100% fat) and I'm thinking about talking a day off to properly digest it, it was so fat I can't move anymore nor focus on any work
As mentioned in the original post I photographed Blaze Bayley for a Classic Rock online feature. Well the feature went online yesterday and you can find it here:

That doesn't look like prog. ;D
Great pictures as always, Mike!
Thanks Rog, and you're right there's no prog bands in those photos :)
I'm trying to branch out and built my portfolio so it's not just all prog bands ;)
I don't see any string quartets either!
No, they look spot on.
