To Leeds on Saturday for the festivities to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of Jumbo Records. If you're a music fan and you haven't been to Jumbo then you really ought to go and check it out next time you're in Leeds - it's full of all the music you've been looking for for ages and haven't been able to find plus a few bits that you never knew existed but now that you do you want them and then some other stuff that you didn't even know you liked when you went in but now you really really do. Here's the link to their website, but pay a call as well at the St John's Centre.

Anyway the birthday celebrations were terrific and it turned out to be a day of fantastic music with performances by Ahab, Serious Sam Barrett, Ellen And The Escapades and Lanterns On The Lake .....



..... and to round off a great day there was a headline set from Corinne Bailey Rae.



Further pictures here and a link to the Jumbo Records Facebook Page which is always full of information about new releases, tickets for shows and things to weight your vinyl down to stop the needle skipping.

Well it's not every day I get to take pictures of real life legends but thanks to Tre and Brett at the Hee Haw Sessions we spent Wednesday night shooting the Herman Dune gig at The Harley in Sheffield and they were simply amazingly good. For anyone not familiar with the band here's a couple of You Tube links -

I Wish That I Could See You Soon

Tell Me Something I Don't Know

plus an extra link to the same song but with the extended video with John Hamm from Mad Men, just because it's the funniest thing I've seen in ages.

Tell Me Something I Don't Know - Long Version

There are some more images from the gig on my website here.

Next Wednesday (October 26th) they've got the Singing Adams, featuring Steven Adams from the Broken Family Band, also at the Harley with support from Sheffield's own Neil McSweeney. Should be a great night and tickets are still available.
