Logan Paul Murphy Music has to be the best young musical talent I've ever seen live. It was an absolute privilege to watch him play up close at Hawcoat Park earlier this year. He's back at the venue this Saturday and apparently there are just 10 tickets left. For any fans of The Beatles and Elton John, this guy should not be missed.

Did you see me at Barrow Music Weekend 2025? From Thursday to Sunday, I filmed each and every workshop, conference, gig and concert I could possibly attend for an upcoming mini-documentary I'm putting together to raise the profile of this fantastic event. Aside from being a one-man camera crew I managed to play interviewer and music video workshop tutor somewhere in between. Absolutely brilliant weekend seeing the Barrow music scene come alive. Thanks to all the interviewees, the venues, the sound engineers, the musicians, the audiences, participants and collaborators that made it all possible. Now to sort through the 742GB of footage I captured. See you in a few months. 🤣

The property market is more competitive than ever. How does your house, hotel, guesthouse, business stand out from the crowd? Looking good online is an absolute must. Guests want to see a hotel room before they book. House hunters want to see a property before they view. If you have a bad set of images with poor lighting and composition, your prospective buyers/customers will scroll on. They will look elsewhere. Get more bookings, get more viewings with high quality photos and video. Send me a message today and let's make a plan.

COMING SOON! An independent short film made by Barrovians in Barrow.

This was my first time in the role of Director of Photography (DOP) on a working set with a small but very talented film crew tasked with bringing, writer and director, Phil Pearson's story about a mother and son to life.

After months are planning and preparation, we ventured down Barrow's hidden gem, The Black Huts for an 3-day shoot.

What a place! What an experience!

'Tinsel Town in the Rain' (working title) now goes into post-production. Look out for a trailer and release date in the months ahead.

For now, you can enjoy some wonderful BTS shots taken by Scott Mason.
