American vibraphonist, record producer and composer Roy Ayers has passed away aged 85 - RIP.
I was lucky enough to see him perform three times - these photos are from the Womad Festival in Wiltshire UK, 2009. But my best memory was him and a three piece band playing in a small basement called The Magnet here in Liverpool to a crowd of about 200 people - brilliant.
If you want to use these images please contact me for licencing - thanks

Recently I was back at one of my favourite venues in Merseyside - Spaces at The Spine, covering an conference event called Early Career Researchers Network organised by The British Academy.
The media world doesn't wait. Whether it's a press release, a breaking news story, or a social campaign, you need great images fast. Slow delivery doesn't just cost time — it costs you the story.
Currently available to take on commissions for events, PR and celebrations at the Grand National meeting in Aintree 9th to 11th April - get in touch ASAP - it is a very busy time for me and I get booked up quickly
