Leicester Festival Event Photographer

Just before the UK lockdown I was re-introduced to my old friend, and singer of one of my favourite bands I was in at college ‘Gary Cicinskas’.

1993 College Rock Concert, Gary in the middle, myself on the right.

Gary now works for ArtReach, a great company that helps fund and put on great art festivals around the UK.

The event I shot in Feb 2020 was the handing over of a cheque for funding from the European Arts Council, presented by the Mayor of Leicester, Sir Peter Soulsby.

The event was a success, Gary liked my work, and indeed offered me a couple of other shoots.. for Arts Festivals around the East Midlands.

Sadly COVID had other plans and all festivals were either cancelled or postponed.

On the 19th February 2022, Corby held a Liberty Festival. This included various crafts around the town centre, disco litter pickers, Virtual Reality and 4 amazing performances at the Cube Theatre.

My job during the day was to capture the atmosphere of activities, show the general public enjoying the festival.

Check out the gallery below for some images of the day, there are also links to the videos below.
