Great Escape 2025 gallery

It feels like an age ago now, but I’ve finally got my photos band and edited from Great Escape weekend. I did my best to try and see a lot of Brighton bands at both official and unoffial gigs – in the end I caught multiple sets from a few bands from some of my favourites, because why not? Anyway, here’s one photo from each set by a Brighton band I went to where I could get close enough to the front, and where the light was good enough to shoot on film (on which note, please could someone have a word with Pink Moon and ask them to buy some lights?)

Flip Top Head at the Prince Albert gallery

Earlier this week Flip Top Head topped the bill at a fantastic gig at the Prince Albert, joined by Brighton Music Blog faves The New Eves, and future stars Van Zon. It comes a few weeks after Flip Top Head released their latest single Alfred Street, which didn’t have a single launch at the time, so let’s shout about it now. Anyway, here’s a whole load of photos from the gig. Click through to view large
