Never mind the .........!

Last night I actually managed to go out for something I wanted to go to. After copious amounts of beer, staggered to Garforth Arts Festival to see the Ukelele band of Great Britain (v good), Chumbawumba (no comment!!) and the Buzzcocks (excellent). Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks in the pic, just before the heavens opened. Never mind; not seen so many people dancing & pogoing in the rain for years!!

GHD promotion at Briggate, Leeds

Image
Last week it was Manchester, this week GHD had their "Rare" phone box promotion in a windy Briggate in Leeds. Poor guy doing the styling had to cope with wind howling through the tent; sure he was never taught how to do that when he learned his job!

GHD promotion at Trafford Centre

Earlier on Friday I was in Manchester at the Trafford Centre, photographing GHD's "Rare" promotion, with hair styling in a phone box!

Friday night fun!!

Whilst everyone else is out having fun on a Friday night, I was filming a heavy haulage operation from Sheffield Forgemasters en route to Goole. Makes you think how poor we car drivers can be when something this big can be driven so precisely!!
