Method
A while back we visited Bill Jacobi’s hillside studio to video and photograph some promo footage and stills for Method. (That’s Bill on acoustic guitar and Frank Corby on the drums.) Bill will be putting the video together himself, so that will be another blog when its done. But here are a few of the stills from the day. If you’d like to check out their music - highly recommend you do - here’s a link to another video.
Tyalgum Festival of Classical Music 2012
Here we are again, an other fantastic Tyalgum Festival of Classical Music. This year it was also a celebration of this festival turning 21and what a great festival it was, packed with amazingly talented world class artists and musicians. The hills were definitely alive with the sound of music, fun and frivolity. It was great for us to catch up with some of the wonderful people that we have met on previous years and some new ones this year. It always strikes me how humble and down to earth most of these high profile musicians are. There was also a fashion parade with original designs by Emma Chandra. One of my favourites was Pastance, the beautiful harmonies with their Medieval, Baroque and even Renaissance pieces.

Songs of Haight Ashbury at Byron Bay Brewery
In December we followed the Songs of Haight Ashbury to the Byron Bay Brewery for another jaw-dropping show! It felt like the audience weren’t sure what to expect and there were several points in the show when it suddenly accelerated to another level and people were looking at each other in amazement. Once again I had tears streaming down my face as Lil’ Fi channelled Janis Joplin for us - while I was still taking photographs! Diana Anaid was absolutely mesmerising as Grace Slick with what I felt was a stronger interpretation than the original songs. Well done to everyone and to Rainbow Region Gigs. Look out for this show as they tour Australia this year.
Here’s a few of our photos from the show:

Jerome Williams
Late last year we had this photo shoot for the amazingly talented Jerome Williams to create some great promo shots for him. If you’ve never heard him your jaw will drop. He and three other young musicians will be performing at Songwriters on the Songline on Feb. 4th down in Uki. In this shoot we tried to capture that “edge of town”, “urban boy / nature boy” look that we felt captured Jerome. Hope you get to hear him sometime soon!

We were engaged the other day to do some promotional shots for Andrew Baxter. As well as being a good-looking guy he is a fantastic blues musician as well as the organiser of some amazing Blues concerts including one at Stokers Siding yesterday: Here is an Echo article about him.
