Action against Pre-eclampsia Charity CD
Thomas Lieser the founder and creator of Digital Bluebells Band Promotions, bassist with Gypsy MOJO contacted me earlier this year and asked me come along to a gig at the Ivory Blacks, Glasgow. On the 5th of March 2011.
I have to say was an amazing night and also playing was Watershed who I also built up a friendship and took few pictures and Video of the Night. Also playing was a Band Called ' Rebel 69'
Lead singer Marty McGregor giving the Thumbs up to the crowds .
Artists on the album provided a track for free and also Artwork. Bands and Artists included ; GypsyMOJO, WATERSHED, THE GIROBABIES, ANNIE STEVENSON, COLOUR-CELLS, WE'RE WITH MCREEDY, EIGHTBALL, WE ARE JAWBONE, PLAIN-ALLIS, BARELLA LIGHTS, THE BUCKY RAGE, THE KOSHER PICKLES, ALIEN PIG, DEAR STARS, KONTROBAND.
The album can still be downloaded and also purchased at www.digitalbluebells.co.uk/ for £3.00 on the digital download or a hard copy of the CD for £7.00 includeds P&P which is a brilliant album as Thomas provided me with and I have it playing constantly on my car stereo. All the funds will go directly to the Charity Yorkhill Children's Foundation (Registered Charity Number SC007856). You can also watch a video with snippits of music from the Album on You tube below.
On the Night of the Ivory Blacks gig he told me his plans to do another charity CD and would I be interested in helping out with photographs and Artwork. I was honoured that he had asked me to be part of such a worthwhile cause. The Glasgow Unsigned CD Volume 2 would be for a charity close to Thomas's heart which is a condition which effects many women Pre-Eclampsia.
Glasgow Unsigned Vol.2 is now actively seeking bands from the west of Scotland to put together a compilation Album to raise awareness and funds for Action on Pre-Eclampsia. Registered Charity No: 1013357

Thomas had put together a Charity CD for Yorkhill Hospital Glasgow which he Called 'Glasgow Unsigned Volume 1' which pulled together talent around Scotland on one CD which i have to say is truly amazing, I had noticed by chance that one of my photographs was on the Artwork which Thomas had created himself which in itself is a genius piece of work.

The Underdog Theory on Tour Scottish Rock Collective
I haven't' seen the The Underdog Theory since the gig at Fury's Ayr on New Years Eve 2010 . So I thought It was about time I got in touch with them again as they have now told me I am their official Photographer I felt obliged to try and get along to one of their gigs to Photograph and video them once again.
I have also noted that they have been photographed by some talented Photographers by
Rob Nugent and Shona Cutt who have provided some outstanding Photographs and Artwork.
The lads are touring with other bands so it was good opportunity to meet with other bands on the tour Sound of Silence, MAIR, Millsyeck, Hiromisha Blackout.
I met with Shinty aka Paul Thomson who introduced himself to me and is part of the band Sound over Silence . I had noticed some of Shona Cutt's Photographs his band and are certainly would be challenge to get photograph the band to have them in focus as they are so active on stage.
Paul told me about his little orange Amp and how it rocks the roof of at venues. It was really nice to meet him and hopefully we will meet again and maybe get some photographs and video arranged in the near future, who knows even a Promo Shoot.
I couldn't wait long at the venue so I managed to shoot some video of the set-up and the band MAIR who were outstanding.
check out just some of the Photographs and Video I took on the Night .

Su Casa Ayr Night
WHile on Holiday last week i had many photo shoots arranged and now and then I like to catch up with old mates who I haven't seen for a while. I try to keep in touch with Musicians who I have photographed in the past and i knew I hadn't seen Martin McLaughlin for a while.
I also had printed some pictures for Jamie McGeechan and Colin Hunter from previous gigs at Su Casa and I visited Jamie ay his home in Ayr during the day on the 28th of April 2011. I wanted to pass on the photographs and a phone charger for a Mobile phone i gave him. (Hopefully Jamie will provide me with a Signed copy of his First Album soon, and Also Colin will too as I hope to arrange a photo shoot with them both real soon)
So while I visited Jamie he told me he was hosting the set at Su Casa in Ayr again and I mentioned I would give big Martin a shout to come along and i would also get some new photographs and see Alberth Mg (ELGATO ) doing his stuff! plus its a fantastic night!!!.
Also playing that night was Scott Nicol who I last photographed live at the HAC in Irvine and was blown away by his performance, he has a cracking voice and love his music.
So hopefully I will be invited again by the guys down at Su Casa
Here is a couple of Pictures from the Night but if you click here you will see more on my Facebook page

The Kilmarnock-based singer-songwriter is on a mission - to communicate the complex sounds in his head to the world using nothing more than his voice, a few stringed instruments and some quirky homemade electric contraptions (e.g. "The Original Penguin" - a rudimentary electric kick drum made from an old sub woofer and a watch box). After playing lead guitar in a handful of extreme... (read more) |
