This was my second time photographing LCJO – again they were sublime, swinging like no other band I’ve ever heard. As you can see Wynton sits in the trumpet section where he introduced the numbers and marshalled the band with great aplomb.

We had a couple of Private Views of the show, the Bridgewater Hall event on the Wednesday and the gallery’s guest list on Thursday. Nice and busy and one warm summer’s evening even turmed up. This is a set of photographs taken over the past 2 years at the hall who commissioned me to show the artistic life of the hall, reflect the diverse programming and give a glimpse behind the scenes. It was very exciting to be photographing so many genres of music, quickly pick up on the different etiquettes and nuances. All the artists have at least one thing in common – a total commitment to their Art.

The exhibition runs to 10 July 2010
