A few years ago a friend of mine, Ben Alldred, started a metal festival with his then band mate ‘Metal’ Ken Turner. They organised a metal festival every year, with all proceeds going to charity.

A friend of mine was expecting a new lens today, and as any photographer will tell you once you have a new toy to play with you have to go out and give it a test run. We decided to wait until midnight so the streets were starting to clear for that desolate and empty [...]
