Tim isn't just a music man and one half of ICU Recordings Ltd, he is primarily a music fan!

Even before he attended his first concert, Tim had started to develop his photographic skills. Having built his own 'dark room' at home, he was already well versed in the art of photography and thus attending his first ever rock concert at the age of fourteen, it was inevitable he'd take a camera.

Concert photography became his hobby and he steadily honed his craft. The art of taking pictures in a crowd, with moving subjects and without using a flash is something that takes time. Only ever there as a fan and just taking pictures for himself, he kept snapping away until the security at concerts started making it impossible. After all, he went to see the gigs, not to get thrown out for taking a few souvenir snaps (even if some of them are rather good!).

This is a very personal collection which includes some memorable shots of 70's legends, the likes of:

Bob Marley

Eric Clapton

John Mayall

Jethro Tull

Queen

Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow

Thin Lizzy

UFO

Weather Report

Whitesnake

Yes

to name a few.

Though nowadays he is far too busy to indulge in his 'other' passion as much as he would like,

Tim still takes the occasional snap at gigs and in the studio.

But the quality of some of his old pictures has finally convinced Tim to make some of these available.

See what you think!
