Amyl and the Sniffers
A, Artists By Letter, Colour, LiveAmyl and the Sniffers performing live at the Brixton Windmill in London, England 2018. It was a summers day and I met the band in Brixton that afternoon. They wanted some portrait shots done, so we decided to do them around the Brixton Windmill. They played an excellent set later that evening in a packed out venue, the atmosphere was electric. There was crowd surfing, moshing, sweat and the band going mental on stage. One of the best gigs I’d been to in a while and brilliant to photograph.

Arctic Monkeys
A, Artists By Letter, Colour, LiveArctic Monkeys photographed at Leeds Festival in 2005. I was supposed to be photographing Graham Coxon on the main stage, but I had heard their demo and knew they were going to be big. So to the PR's surprise, I said I was not going to shoot Graham Coxon and I was going to one of the smaller stages to photograph the Arctic Monkeys, to which he replied "who". The tent was absolutely rammed and it was an awesome performance. This shot was used as the front cover on the NME, three months after I picked up a camera and the Arctic Monkeys did become big.

Biffy Clyro
Artists By Letter, B, Colour, PortraitA portrait of Biffy Clyro I photographed in the hotel we were staying at near Exeter. The band were playing BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend the following day and the hotel kindly cleared out a function room so I could set up a studio. We did a shoot in there and then went around the village doing various location shots. A good day with top guys and a great performance the next day.

Blossoms
Artists By Letter, B, Colour, PortraitPortrait of Blossoms photographed in Stockport, their home town. I was supposed to do all the photos in a cafe but it was a bit of a boring location so I pissed off to do a reccy for locations when we had a break. As I was wandering around I saw what I thought was a scrapyard. I was looking over the fence when some bloke came out and asked me what I was doing, I told him I was shooting a band for Q Magazine and was looking for some locations. He told me it was actually his garden and that I was most welcome to photograph the band there. He was a top bloke and he even let me come in his house and shoot out of the huge window on the second floor, which was his lounge. Also as it was a cash for question feature for the magazine and the guy bizarrely had a wad of photocopied fifty pounds notes, I didn't want to ask why or what he had them for. The band later burnt them as I snapped away…..a good day all round. Photographer: Simon Sarin£95.00 – £495.00£95.00 – £495.00 -

IDLES
Artists By Letter, Colour, I, LiveIDLES performing live at The Roundhouse in Camden, London. I had photographed the band on numerous occasions and they were performing live as part of the Q Awards. This photo is of Mark Bowen the lead guitarist who had to go on stage with his underpants, due to an incident back stage in the toilet, where he got soaked with water. After performing live in his underpants, he carried on playing in his y-fronts for further year or so until he started to favour a dress. Photographer: Simon Sarin£95.00 – £495.00£95.00 – £495.00 -
