A little more #BTS from the ITV coverage of the Eng v Fra #M6N match. I love being part of the provision of accessible TV. #DescriptiveCommentary #AudioDescription @daverogerscomms.bsky.social

On Saturday ITV provided Descriptive Commentary for the @irishrugby.bsky.social vs @englandrugby.bsky.social match on ITV1. I was behind the scenes and was able capture this video of the commentator Joe Byrnes describing Ireland’s fourth try. #AudioDescription #M6N #6Nations

I spent the last week in London and was at both nights of Showcases at UKAMW2025. I had my camera with me and was able to capture the great set from Chloe Foy at Night Tales.

A bit of a Celtic Connections flashback. A photo from each of the sets I saw. www.instagram.com/p/DEQkZpZN8g...

As 2024 comes to an end, it is time for me to go through my photos & see what I have failed to published and what deserves another post. First up is the opening night concert from UK Americana Week 24. The photos are mainly from the Alabama part of the night. #concertphotography

The last of the photo videos - colour photos from the @tommcraemusic.bsky.social Workman’s Club gig in Dublin. I had somehow not used The Boy With the Bubblegun yet, so here it is. #TomMcRae #Dublin #ÉtrangeHiver

The penultimate video of @tommcraemusic.bsky.social tour photos. This is a selection of black and white photos from the 2nd Nov Dublin gig. I've used How the West Was Won to accompany the photos and am now trying to remember what songs played on tour I've not used. www.instagram.com/p/DD9xcY_tYJR/

This is close to my favourite version of Silent Night. The version on the album doesn't have the children singing, which makes it better - imho. If you weren't bought up with this Christmas album your childhood was all the poorer for it. #JohnDenver #AChristmasTogether youtu.be/3FqgYPWRDFs?...

I have some photos from the Liverpool Philharmonic @tommcraemusic.bsky.social gig that are more artistic - you can decide if that is the right word for yourself - than my standard so I have created a video of them alone. #LiveMusicPhotography #GigPhotography #LiveMusic #Gig #Nikon #Sigma #Liverpool

Video number two from the @tommcraemusic.bsky.social Liverpool gig. The lighting at this gig was beautiful and led me to want to include the backdrop more often than usual.

As promised, a selection of black and white photos from the @tommcraemusic.bsky.social gig at Liverpool Philharmonic in November. #LiveMusicPhotography #GigPhotography #Photography #BlackAndWhitePhotography

The videos of my photos of @tommcraemusic.bsky.social gigs in Dublin and Liverpool are nearly ready. I will start sharing tomorrow and as a teaser here is a photo from the show at Liverpool Philharmonic. #Photography #GigPhotography #Liverpool

The editing is still going on. This weeks I hope to get through the last of the @tommcraemusic.bsky.social gigs and get my reviews of @crashtestdummies.bsky.social and Jason Isbell written. Keep an eye out for the reviews & related photos at PCN and my social media pages for the Tom McRae content.

It seems BlueSky has a limit of 60 seconds on its videos, so here is a link to my colour photo collection from the @tommcraemusic.bsky.social gig at the Glee Club in Birmingham so I don’t have to re-edit it. www.instagram.com/reel/DCekwej...

The home stretch. Black and white photos from the @tommcraemusic.bsky.social gig on 6 Nov at the Glee Club in Birmingham. Colour will follow tomorrow. I have skipped the videos for Dublin and Liverpool for now. I will get back to them, I promise.

As my first post I thought I would share one of my most recent favourite photos. It was taken at the Glee Club in Birmingham last week and feature the singer/songwriter Tom McRae. #GigPhotography #LiveMusic #BlackNWhite
