Over on the official JB forums, I posted a link to a gallery of photographs I had taken at his gig in Stirling on 27th June. I realise that a fair few fans frequent this site as well, so I thought I'd pop over and share the link here too

Also, to prevent my email inbox flooding like it did when I posted on the JB forums, here's a quick FAQ about the shots and me
Q: Did you meet JB or do you know him?
A: I don't know JB, have never met him and, most likely, never will
Q: So you work work as a photographer all the time?
A: Yes, I do this for a living... the money ain't too great but it is fun!
Q: Who else have you photographed in concert?
A: Black Eyed Peas, Simple Minds, The Strokes, Katie Melua, Jason Mraz, Kelly Clarkson, Joan Baez, Il Divo, Kaiser Chiefs, Darren Hayes, Hilary Duff, Eric Clapton, Texas, Triniti, Bon Jovi, Nickelback and James Brown - and that's just this year! Tonight (30th June) I'm adding Whitesnake to that list
Q: It must be cool getting into all those concerts for free!
A: No, I don't get into concerts for "free".. I'm escorted in for the first three songs only, then get hustled out just as quickly. Sometimes a PR firm will arrange a complementary ticket, but that's only ever happened twice and, usually, my deadlines mean I don't get to use it
Q: Can I buy any of the pictures that you've taken? Can you email me some?
A: Yes, sometimes I can sell prints of the shots I've taken. Occasionally I have to sign a release form that prevents this but, for most gigs, that isn't the case. I *never* send shots by email, so don't ask
Q: How can I buy shots from your work?
If you wish to purchase a print of anything that you see in my galleries or website, you contact me directly for available sizes and prices - they start at £2 for a 6x4" (not including P&P) and upwards.
That about covers it
