You don't have to wait long or look far to find Guernseys two most prolific Musicians... and when they come along in the same Band you know you are in for a treat.
I'm talking about Thee Jenerators, Mark Le Gallez & Steve Lynch.
Add into the mix The Fermain Tavern and you have a night to remember. Take a look at the picture Gallery of their latest gig. THEE JENERATORS LATEST GIG

Just a few updates today. I have added a new Gallery displaying pictures of the London based Folk-Pop Quintet 6 Day Riot. These pics were taken at The Fermain Tavern during a recent Folkal Point evening held to raise funds for next years Sark Folk Festival. I really enjoyed this band... although I nearly missed them completely! Don't the 'folk music' guys finish early. All done by 10.45pm! Check-out the Gallery here 6 DAY RIOT AT THE FERMAIN TAVERN

OK, so now the excuses! Christmas, in one word! I have to thank all you guys and girls for all the orders of Prints, Montages, Digital Files and Canvases. The preparation and production of these orders has taken a great deal of time... I know, I spend too much optimising each print!

There is another excuse as well! I currently have a 'broken' main PC. Windows 7 has thrown a huge tantrum and refuses to boot up after crashing. I have spent several days trying to rebuild Win7 using DOS as the built-in restore didn't work. I am now resigned to a reinstallation with all the activation problems with Photoshop and all my other programs... there is no shortcut.
If I can offer one bit of advice - thankfully I take my own advice - BACKUP YOUR FILES - I have backups of backups of backups...
UPDATE: It looks like I have the Computer fully restored from backups. What a HUGE hassle but I don't think I have lost a thing!! Pictures, e-mails, programs, settings, the lot have all been restored from back-ups

Todays updates from the Archives include some Motor Sport and Gig pictures. The first of many Sand Racing Galleries has been added with the Sand Ace meeting of 2010 being the first.
Take a look here SAND ACE 2010 GALLERY.
The other major update has been to the Bands & Gigs Gallery (Bands A-E). This Gallery now features Abandon Ship, About an Hour, Alabama 3, Andy C, Biffy Clyro, Asylum Seekas, Basement Jaxx, Benny the Moth & Big Machine. Bands have appeared at Jersey Live, Guernsey Live, Rock of Ages, Vale Earth Fair, Greenman Chaos & Ivy Castle Earth Fair. Only about 250 more bands to go.

The size of the task of bringing all the archive of pics over to this new Web Site is beginning to sink in... there are so many pics! So it will be a while, but as more Galleries are being added I am getting a feel for how it will look. Today I have added some more gig pictures. I will add a link for each band in the Alphabetic Galleries and then link from there to other Galleries where they appear. Take a look here for the latest updates: BAND GALLERIES A-E

Last weekend was a busy one for me. With two evenings of ROCK of AGES bands playing at the Carlton Hotel there wasn't much time for anything else. However I did manage to get along to hear The Risk play at the Fermain Tavern on Friday night. They don't play that often nowadays so you mustn't miss a chance to see them. They didn't disappoint.
Of course, I took my camera along to take some pics! Having just left the Rock of Ages with its fantastic lighting rig The Fermain Tavern was a bit of a let-down I'm afraid. I have added a Gallery of pics CLICK HERE TO VIEW 'THE RISK' GALLERY

Pheww, sorted! With Mark Guillou putting on eight band over two nights during the latest Rock of Ages-6 it certainly makes for a few late nights just to catch up and sort through the pics. But, the job is done! Each of the bands now has their own Gallery of pics. Take a look at the latest updates showing '2 Minutes 2 Late', 'Dead Wing', 'Plan of Attack' & '9 Lives'... Take a look at the Rock of Ages-6 Gallery

Mark Guillou has just promoted the sixth ROCK of AGES and once again it was a great success. Mark always finds space for a couple of 'new bands on the block' who support the more established groups. I have added the first nights bands to the Music Festivals Gallery. They include 'Dealers Left', 'Feedback', 'Breaking the Silence' and 'Tantale. The Saturdays bands will follow.

Just a few updates to the Gigs & Bands Gallery today. I will be adding all the Band pics that are in my archive to these Galleries so I am putting in place the folder structure to - hopefully - enable fairly quick access though the large selection of pics. Bands will be listed in alphabetic folders. Recent additions include the latest gig at the Fermain Tavern. A Halloween theme was always going to make interesting pics - check the Brutus Stonefist & Thousand Choking Corpses Gallery.
I have also added the first of the FalenizzaHorse Power pics. Loads to come... SOME OF THE LATEST UPDATES
