Frank Turner at The Great Hall in Exeter - 28/04/2018
I first photographed Frank Turner at the Beautiful Days festival last year. I was not only blown away by his music but also his stage presence. He was a real joy to photograph. Every music photographer wants to photograph an artist who has lots of energy and style as it makes the whole process of creating great photographs that much easier.
So when I heard Frank was stopping off in Exeter as part of his Be More Kind tour, I was straight on the phone to my friends over at MusicMuso to see if we should team up to cover the gig. Of course, the answer was yes and we both got ready for what was almost guaranteed to be a great night of music and photography.
Here are the photos from the night.

Normally I will only post two or three photos of the main act on the blog, but I captured so many great images of Frank Turner that I just had to share a few more than that!

It was great to see three great bands and for The Great Hall to be packed out like that. Not a bad way to spend your Saturday night working.
If you want to read a review of this fantastic gig and see even more of my photos from the gig then head over to MusicMuso.
See you next time!
Beautiful Days Festival - 18th to 20th August 2017
Beautiful Days 2017
When I covered the Beautiful Days festival last year I thought it was one of the best festivals I'd had the pleasure to photograph. Naturally when I was invited back to cover the festival in 2017 I jumped at the chance. Everything that I enjoyed about the festival last year was there in abundance this year. Great crowds, fantastic lineup, and despite some dubious summer weather, a proper fun festival vibe.
As I did last year this post is going to be a photographic celebration of this brilliant Devon festival. My friends over at MusicMuso will post a full review soon, but in the meantime please enjoy my gallery of Beautiful Days 2017 images.
