Tours
My personal photos from a few of the pop tours I've been involved in - not a collection of pictures of popstars (although they do feature peripherally) but more a photo-travelogue featuring the musicians, sound-men, lighting-men, security, catering and drivers who do the less glamorous jobs on a large tour.

Steve Martland Band
The Steve Martland Band was my first and still probably the most challenging job as a musician. The galleries on this website cover the years from 1992; I first joined the band in 1991. It is, unfortunately, far from a complete record, as I missed the gigs in Helsinki and Ljubjiana and failed to take any pictures on several others, particularly those in Britain. I particularly regret taking no pictures when we topped the bill at the 25th anniversary of Prince Charles's inauguration (unfortunately Tom Jones and Paul McCartney pulled out, but I'm sure the audience of Welsh mining families felt more than compensated by having them replaced them with a 12-piece contemporary-music ensemble).

Some of these galleries are scanty indeed, and many of the photos are poor quality, but I hope they will, nonetheless, bring back some memories for those featured here.
Thanks to Pete Orwin for the pictures from Milan.

The band will visit more exotic locations next year, thanks to the hard work put in by Steve and Chris Caldwell, and I will keep this section updated. Contact Chris Caldwell for details.

Others
Galleries of places I've visited and photographed, dating from late 2000 onwards. There is also a gallery of Swordfish's tour of western Ireland.

Gallery
A collection of photos that I regard as my best.

NOTE: The galleries are best viewed in "Full Screen" mode. Hit F11 on a PC.

Technical Information
These pictures were taken on a variety of different cameras; I will try and include some details for each gallery, for those who are interested in such things (like me).
