On Sunday 11th February, 2000’s indie sensations, ‘The Libertines’, performed to a sold out crowd at The Princess Pavilion’s, Falmouth.

Fronted by the iconic and charming duo, Mr Pete Doherty and Carl Barât; the lovely John Hassall and Gary Powell, bassist and drummer, famously make up the legendary four-piece.

The Libertines are the embodiment of indie allure from the 2000’s, with their raw energy, rebellious spirit, and charismatic style. Known for their catchy melodies intertwined with poetic lyrics, they aren’t just a band, but a staple of their time.

Hailing from London, the band formed in 1997, and are one of the most acclaimed and influential acts in modern indie rock. The Libs released two studio albums since their debut, ‘Up The Bracket’ in 2002, reaching #1 in the UK charts with their self-titled album back in 2004.

The likely lads are back in ‘24 with their latest UK #1 album, ‘All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade’, with hit tracks ‘Run Run Run’ and ‘Night Of The Hunter’.

As music began to play when the lights went out, out walked the boys in the band, followed by a s**t ton of charisma. Battered boots and brogues, tattoos and tank tops, suits and slim fit jeans; it was clear the band hadn’t changed, and that I was glad of. It was obvious that Pete and Carl still shared the same amount of passion for their music on and off stage, as they did for each other back in their 00’s heyday, regardless of the troubles all members had faced in the past with the band separating and of course addiction.

Performing hit after hit, including songs ‘Vertigo’, ‘Can’t Stand Me Now’, ‘What Katie Did’ and summer festival favourite, ‘Don’t Look Back into The Sun’, it felt like stepping into the pages of a 20 year old NME magazine, a nostalgic reminder that noughties indie will forever pulse with life.

The band surpassed all expectations I may have had, dispelling the age-old saying “Never meet your heroes,” leaving me more enamored with the band than ever before.

What an honour.

Ladies and gents, The Libertines!

P.s. Thanks Pete for saying I look tidy and rock a Fred Perry, you’ve made my life ;)

On Sunday evening The Princess Pavilions in Falmouth warmly welcomed the legendary co-frontman of indie band sensation ‘The Libertines’, Mr Peter Doherty.

The talented and much loved musician, singer, published writer and poet, also known for his successful solo career and second project with band ‘Babyshambles’, graced the stage to a packed out crowd of all ages.

Head to toe in pin stripes and in traditional Pete Doherty style, a fedora hat; Peter’s charm, cheeky chappy and narrative style of performance swooned the crowd as music began to play when the lights went out. As the show went on, tales of the early days Libs with fellow band member Carl Barât began to unravel.

Pleasing the crowd with a handful of well known anthems, we knew it was a special set when Doherty played rare acoustic versions of ‘Horror Show’ and ‘France’. Joined on stage to perform ‘Albion’ by his wife Katia playing the harmonica, and dogs Gladys and Zeus, it was fitting for Pete, Bilo, to say “We’re like one big family”.

A heart warming night to say the least, and what a lovely gentleman. Thank you for being exactly how I expected x

Monday 20/03/2023, real hip hop legends ‘The Pharcyde’ graced the stage to a packed out crowd at The Princess Pavilion’s in Falmouth for a second night as part of their world tour.

From the other side of the world, South Central Los Angeles, members ‘Fatlip’, ‘Slimkid3’ and ‘Imani’ brought nothing but pure energy and passion to the stage.

Their sold out show united all ages and lovers of real 90’s hip hop. For me, this era is unmatchable.

Playing their most respectable tracks such as “Drop”, “Passin’ Me By” and “Runnin’”, I think it’s safe to say myself and the crowd were in total shock to be witnessing the spectacle that ‘The Pharcyde’ are.

Tonight they return to the UK to play The Depo in Plymouth.

True West Coast hip hop. Like Souls of Mischief’s big brother, again, this experience and show I’m never going to forget.

A huge thank you to the boys of ‘The Pharcyde’, it was an absolute honour and dream to meet you all after the show.

See you for round 2 tonight!

“Oh s**t!”

The year is 1993, G-Funk had a huge reputation. Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and Wu Tang were hot on the scene.

September of ‘93, Souls of Mischief from the West Coast of California released their debut album, ‘93 ‘til Infinity’. Generations later, they’re celebrating their 30th anniversary tour of the album.

“But right now, yo, we gonna up you on how we just chill…”

From the West Coast of America to the South Coast of the UK, SOM brought nothing but rhythms and rhymes. A week ago today, I had the ultimate pleasure and honourable experience of photographing one of the biggest hip hop groups the world has to offer.

From the hip hop heads of the 90’s, to the youth of today, this album will forever be timeless and has touched the souls of so many over the decades.

What an experience, I’m never going to forget this one.

Yeah, this is how we chill from ‘93 till.
