«For those that are interested in that sort of thing here's a brief overview of my work so far: After dropping out of Art College in 1975 I became a full time freelance photographer in 1977. My first paid job was shooting Gloria Mundi, for Rod Smallwood (who went on to become the manager of Iron Maiden) for which I was paid a whopping Ј30. I remember shooting them in Dingwalls the night Elvis died. I worked mainly though for the now defunct magazine Sounds. I used to shoot a bit of everything for them from Blondie to Judas Priest. »

«Rory Gallagher was the nicest musician I have ever met. When I was fourteen I worked in a guitar shop on Saturdays (called Orange - very seventies). Rory came in all the time. I got to know him quite well - when I became a photographer he always remembered me. He was ALWAYS polite and considerate - a GREAT man! »
