During the filming of my recent feature documentary about the Irish band The Frames : ‘The Frames In The Deep Shade’ they ended their 20 year anniversary tour in Whelans in Dublin. Whelans was, and still is possibly, the best small music club in Dublin and I knew it well. In fact I shot my first ever live music photography there watching The Davy Spillane Band in August 1991. It was a nostalgic visit coming back and seeing that it is still a thriving venue. It also made me think of the book I produced when studying photography in 1992. “Rock Seen”.

We are just back from The Dublin Film Festival and it was a wonderful weekend. Our film ‘The Frames In The Deep Shade’ received its world premiere with a sell out audience on the Sunday night.
One of the more surreal experiences was attending a reception at the American Ambassadors’ residence on the Friday and seeing the trailer beside the podium in the main room.
It was all very Homeland and I’m convinced the uber friendly staff were CIA. You can’t be that nice and love horses and people without it being a cover right? They wouldn’t give us any news on series 3 and ol’ crazy eyes next move.
