Me, My Passion, My First Post.

So after ages thinking shall I, or maybe not I done it.  I have a blog.  This can't be good.  I don't think I really need to introduce myself coz if you're daft enough to be reading this you already know who I am.  Essentially, what excites me to the exclusion of pretty much everything else is music.  Alas, I can't play anything so I content myself by taking photos of people who can.  I am often  found populating dark, noisy, hot, sweaty music venues shooting bands that only a select few have heard of, YET.  As a result I find mainstream pop music extremely bland and uninteresting.  Oh yeah and by the way if you haven't already guessed most of this blog is probably gonna be about music.
I was born in Wakefield and I'll more than likely die here, eventually.  It's my city and this is my home it's got it's problems and bits of it are not so pretty but like someone else said about Wakey well if it's shit it's our shit and we like it.  One of Wakey's best kept secrets which too few of us are shouting about is the number of bands, musicians, and songwriters currently making original music in this city, er I did say original, not covers in case you missed that bit.  There are in my opinion 3 vital and precious factors behind the vibrant state of cutting edge original music in this city one is a really cool venue with an awesome sound system.  Two is a music fanzine which has been around for 5 years and shouts about our music to anyone with the ability to read, and three is a record label that puts out the magic for you and I to take home.  For my part I shall be shouting about all three of the above and uploading photos coz that's what I do.
Ok, first post written, from here on posts will be about venues, bands, festivals, cameras, Bleech, and beer, and anything else that fires me up in future interlaced with my miserable attempts to capture the amazing music and extremely talented people who make it with a camera.
