Elbow and The Hallé

I’ve been commissioned by the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester’s £42 million state of the art concert hall to create a body of work which encompasses the many different types of performance hosted there.
This is a particularly inspiring project for me and has enabled me to work in other genres of music.
Artists included are Liza Minnelli, Buena Vista Social Club, Tommy Emmanuel, Nick Lowe, Christy Moore, Colin Currie, Acoustic Archery, Roberto Fonseca and familiar faces to me - Buddy Guy and Herbie Hancock.
As part of the bi-annual Manchester International Festival two special performances by Manchester band Elbow and The Hallé took place at the Hall – which is the home venue of The Hallé Orchestra and I was fortunate enough to be there and shoot it.

I’m listening to a lot more classical music these days – as well as Marley, Dylan, Hendrix – Cash and many more, the sound in the Hall was superb, a great night.

This project will culminate in an exhibition in spring next year to be held at Manchester’s premier independent gallery in the Northern Quarter – The Richard Goodall Gallery.
