Last Saturday I had my first taste of the Sandblast gigs up at the Scarborough Uni campus. I'm not sure why I haven't caught on to these events any sooner, but let me tell you, it's worth the walk. The guys at Sound and Music seriously push everything they've got to put on a decent night, it's just a shame that not many people come up to take a look! Last weekend's bands were Diastima, The Andy Walker Experience and Club Smith, who are set to be supporting Kaiser Chiefs on their tour in January.

Check out the full gallery here.

Josh Giddings is fast becoming a well known singer/songwriter in Scarborough. He's often seen performing at the various open mic nights around the town, as well as hosting his own on a Thursday night at the Turks Head, Eastborough. Lately I've heard he's been out and about busking in cities around the north, so like / follow and what have you to keep up to date!

A week or so ago Charlie and I met up with him on a cold, miserable afternoon to capture a few snaps for his social media and press kit ...

 

Wahey! I've finally done it, graduated from university with a degree in commercial photography. It feels like it's taken me ages to get to this point as I've taken a few diversions along the way, but that's it, 20 years of formal education has come to an end. Big thanks to Terry and all the other lecturers over at G.I.F.H.E for all their support over the past 3 years.

 

A few frames with Scarborough band Stray Scene in their practice room close to the town. It was nice to finally talk to these guys, apparently they're very close to be signed, if not already. They're currently in the studio's so keep your ears peeled for some new tracks.
