Rivalling The Cherry

Nick is renowned for making the most of any opportunity to get the best shot possible so when asked to cover the Black Stone Cherry and Rival Sons gigs, he looked at every possible angle.

From sound-check and through to the performance, Nick shot the bands on-stage, side-stage and off-stage at Norwich UEA last night.

This was the first time Nick had caught up with the brilliant Rival Sons since the Classic Rock awards in November and the high energy rockers Black Stone Cherry since their VIP acoustic gig early last year.

As usual, Nick got into whatever position he could to get THE photo. If you were there, it may have been difficult to spot him in the pit but on stage there was no missing him.

Irish eyes are smiling

Pete Kennedy, Nick and Lee Williams

It was a sharp, cold day in London this week when Nick went on location to shoot an album cover for the enormously talented, Irish, singer songwriter, Pete Kennedy.

Pete has recently completed his latest recording in Nashville, USA, where his agent Lee Williams, arranged for him to work with some of the biggest names in country music.

Nick devised the concept for the shoot before being joined by Lee, who is also Nick’s agent in the USA, for a packed photographic session on the streets of the East End.

Oil be seeing you

 Nick has been to visit the newly released oil paintings of his images of Motorhead’s Lemmy and Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant.

We brought you news of Tredici’s Robert Plant last week and are delighted to see that he has now produced another for the collection – this time of Nick’s Lemmy. Both images are available to purchase – Robert Plant at £3,500 and Lemmy at £1,800.

Contemporary artist Zinsky is also currently working on some new pieces of Nick’s images and his portrait of Lemmy is available to purchase at £5,000.

More information is available from art dealer, Mark Fisher, on 07739 345654 or fishermark1965@yahoo.co.uk who is handling the sale.

Artist Tredici takes up the brush

Nick's Robert Plant by Tredici

Hot on the tail of the news about contemporary artist Zinsky painting his version of Nick’s image of Lemmy, rising artist Tredici has also taken up the brush to produce his own paintings of Nick’s images.

First in the collection is this stunning oil painting of the one and only Robert Plant and he is currently working on further paintings for the collection, which will be revealed soon.

We think it is just brilliant and a wonderful compliment from the art world about Nick’s creative talent.

Both works of art are available from art dealer, Mark Fisher, on 07739 345654 or fishermark1965@yahoo.co.uk and more oil paintings of Nick’s work by Tredici and Zinsky will be coming soon.

The boys are back in town

Last week Nick was shooting on location with the mighty Thin Lizzy, the first time he’d got together with them since the backstage project at High Voltage in July 2011.

The band is currently touring and Nick’s catching up with them again on the Cambridge leg of their tour for some on-stage shots.

From what we heard, Thin Lizzy are of top form, so if you want to see them live, check out the tour dates on their site.
