Oscar Jerome

in Rough Trade West, when I was still in London.

PicaPica

at Rough Trade West (I know, two days in a row)

Wovoka Gentle

at Rough Trade West

Almost like Phil Collins at Live Aid

(but without the Concorde and without the two continents and all that malarkey). But I did see Johhny Lloyd at lunchtime at Rough Trade East and then I had a brilliant walk in glorious sunshine interrupted by several showers across London

 to see Tom The Lion at Rough Trade West for an afternoon show.

dans le Rough Trade West.

I am slowly getting back into

 going out with my camera, this time it was an acoustic guitar duo at Rough Trade, Jim Ghedi 

and Toby Hay.

(As you see I am slowly working my way up to the noisier ones)

The Room in the Wood

 performing an acoustic set

in the local Rough Trade. 

Kris's dad

is a rock photographer and Kris is a musician, my dad used to be a musician (before he went into his 'and now for something completely different' phase) and I'm a photographer... So now I took a photo of Kris I am waiting for Bob to take a photo of Al.

Patrick Stickles

doing a solo Titus Andronicus tour of the UK & Ireland. I caught him at my local Rough Trade and we all got put on the guest list for his sold out shows at St. Pancreas Old Church (Yey!)

Trying to distract myself

with I am HER at my local Rough Trade,

 Lara Smiles

 Pete Kosanovich

 Model Society

Rotten Hill Gang

performed outside Rough Trade and made our Saturday afternoon more fun.

Even as we speak

regrouped and travelled all the way from Australia to give us a small intimate concert in Rough Trade.

Donald visited London

today, so I went to take a photo...

but in the evening I went to see Breathe Panel at Rough Trade, just to get a bit of that on the brighter side of life feeling.

Israel Nash

escaped his seclusion in Texas to enjoy the London wilderness for a while. 

Two very different concerts on a lazy Saturday afternoon

Coltana at Acklam Village

and Matt Maltese at Rough Trade West. 

A very short

(or did he start early?) but sweet performance by an overly sensitive megalomaniac (his words, not mine)

First a bit of music

 with Laish (or at least a fragment of the band) at Rough Trade

 and then a reminder of how fragile and cheap a human life can be in The Playground Theatre 

which just reinforced my constant desire to curl up and wait for it all to end.
