Snow Patrol and The Corrs - Plymouth Summer Sessions - 14/06/2025

Two Days of Great Music in Plymouth

The Summer Sessions are a series of 4 day mini festivals held across the UK featuring some of music’s finest talents from across generations. Last year, my first Summer Sessions gig, was in Plymouth and the headline act (on the night that I photographed) was the legendary Tom Jones!

So, when the opportunity to photograph the Summer Sessions in Plymouth again I jumped at the chance. While I was only able to shoot two of the four days, the bonus was that on the Sunday one of my favourite bands were playing, Snow Patrol. This would be my 3rd opportunity to photograph Snow Patrol in less than 12 months. I was not going to complain.

Fortunately for me the weather was pretty good on the Saturday and Sunday. The stories I was hearing about the “biblical” weather on Friday night meant that I didn’t feel left out for missing it.

So here are the photos from the musicians I photographed on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15th of July 2025 at the Plymouth Summer Sessions. I’m looking forward to next year already.

Dub Pistols and Kioko at Plymouth Hub - 01/12/2017

There are not many bands that will make me want to leave the comfort of home on a chilly December evening, but when you know it's going to be the Dub Pistols it's easy to get motivated!  So when Steve from MusicMuso asked if I wanted to go to Plymouth to shoot the Dub Pistols there was no danger I was going to miss it. 

Like proper dedicated music journalists, we arrived early and waited patiently outside the Plymouth Hub waited for the doors to open.   Despite the frosty temperatures, the wait was worth it.  First up were soulful reggae-pop band Kioko who put on an energetic performance that got even the coldest of gig-goers warmed up.  By the time the Dub Pistols hit the stage the place was jumping.  

Let's take a look at some of the images I took.

As you can see it was a cracking gig and both bands put on brilliant performances.  This always makes my life easier as it gives me plenty to shoot!
