A few weeks ago I saw Alicia Keys at the o2 Arena. I’m certainly no fan but Gemma bought the tickets and was very eager to see her perform live. It turned out that she had booked two seats in the block that overhangs one of the entrances onto the Arena floor. This meant that although we were sat in row H our seats were in the front row. We had an excellent view and plenty of leg room to boot (pun intended)!

Alicia Keys was excellent and performed many of her latest songs and a few classics that even I felt the need to sing along to! The only thing I found slightly annoying was the lone dancer jumping around like he owned the stage. Very distracting and something akin to one of your drunk mates getting up on the podium late one night and making a fool of himself. Fortunately for us he wasn’t on stage for every song!

A few months ago I bought two tickets to see Ricky Gervais and his new tour ‘Science’ live at Wembley Arena. I had been looking forward to a new Ricky Gervais tour for a long time because I found his previous stand up shows, Animals, Politics and Fame extremely funny and enjoyable to watch. To my disappointment, Science did not live up to my expectations at all.

What was originally planned to be a four day break in Bratislava, Slovakia turned into a week long holiday due to the Volcanic eruption in Iceland. The ash cloud created by the volcano meant the majority of European airspace was closed and it wasn’t until we landed in Slovakia on the day of the eruption that we learnt our flight home was cancelled and we were stranded!

Needless to say this didn’t stop us making the most of our trip so I thought I would share some of my favourite photos here. On the first day we toured Bratislava in the pouring rain, an excellent excuse to dive into every open bar, sit back and order an ice cold Slovakian brew.

Last month I travelled up to Manchester with a few friends to take a tour of Old Trafford, Manchester United’s home ground. As usual I was the photographer for the day and took loads of pictures. I have hand picked a few of my favourites to share with you here.

The tour lasted about an hour and included access to the Manchester United museum that is also on site. The museum hosts a huge array of Manchester United memorabilia from the clubs 132 years of football.

A few weeks ago my car heater packed up. It’s surprising how something so simple can be so disruptive! Aside from driving to work and back every day in a car that is colder inside than your fridge at home, when it rained, the car steamed up and made it impossible to see out of all of the windows!
