Red Handed Siren brought their sound to The Source Collective, with Tom Cairns from TBK joining them for the performance. Live gigs at smaller venues like this are always great to photograph, offering the chance to get closer to the action and capture the expressions, energy and atmosphere as they unfold on stage. Here are some of my favourite shots from the night, capturing Red Handed Siren live at The Source Collective.
Continuing my photographic journey through Wild on the Wall 2026, it was time to turn my camera towards BossyKing. Live music photography is all about capturing those fleeting moments that make every performance unique, from the expressions and movement on stage to the atmosphere that builds throughout a set. I always enjoy the challenge of finding those moments that tell a story beyond the music itself. Here are some of my favourite shots of BossyKing performing at Wild on the Wall 2026.
Elfjaw brought a distinctive and captivating energy to Wild on the Wall 2026, creating a set full of atmosphere, movement and character. Their performance had an almost theatrical quality, with plenty of moments that translated beautifully through the camera. As a music photographer, these are the kind of performances I enjoy capturing — where the music, lighting and personalities on stage come together to create something visually striking. Here are some of my favourite images from Elfjaw’s set at the festival.
Steel Foxes brought plenty of energy to Wild on the Wall 2026, delivering a raw and lively set that felt perfectly suited to the atmosphere of the festival. From the first song, the band had a real presence on stage, with plenty of movement, attitude and interaction between the members making them a great subject to photograph. These are a few of my favourite shots from their set.
Scorpio Deathblow ignited the stage with an electrifying live set at The Source Collective in Carlisle—those there experienced the intensity up close and became part of the chaos.

Leftfield on the main stage at Solfest 2025 — no fuss, no slowing down, just a wall of sound and a field full of people completely in it. One of those sets where the lights, the noise and the crowd all clicked at once.
What a night at The Brickyard. TBK took to the stage in support of Nirvana Tribute on 9 May 2026 — thank you to everyone who came out.
I photographed Plugin Maybe, a Muse tribute band, when they played The Brickyard in Carlisle on 23 May 2026. Bringing the sound and energy of Muse to the stage, they put on a great show and made for some fantastic live photography.
I had the pleasure of photographing corto.alto at Dumfries Drum Day on 27 September 2025. Their energetic blend of jazz, hip-hop and electronic sounds made for a great performance to photograph.
