Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FJJ009 - Theatre-goers queue at the Priority Access entrance outside Liverpool Empire Theatre on Lime Street for a performance of the musical Mean Girls, illustrating how the cost of live entertainment can extend beyond the basic ticket price through paid extras, premium access and hospitality add-ons. A large Mean Girls promotional banner dominates the theatre frontage while customers wait beside a clearly marked Priority access sign at the entrance. ATG, which operates Liverpool Empire, markets Priority Access as a way to skip the main queue into the venue. Its current terms state that standalone Priority Access costs £5 and provides fast-track entry after doors open together with a house programme when one is produced and available. ATG also sells wider hospitality and food-and-drink packages at selected venues and performances, showing how modern theatre ticketing increasingly includes optional upgrades alongside the admission price itself. These extras form part of the broader experience economy, where consumers may pay additional amounts for convenience, better access, lounge use, food, drink, merchandise or other enhancements around a show, concert or event. The image therefore documents not only an audience arriving for a major touring musical but also the commercial structure surrounding live entertainment, where the final cost of a night out can rise through discretionary add-ons. Liverpool Empire is a major city-centre theatre and the largest two-tier theatre in the UK, regularly hosting touring musicals, comedy, dance and drama. The scene can illustrate theatre affordability, consumer spending, entertainment inflation, premium experiences, queue-skipping services, hospitality upselling and the increasing monetisation of convenience around cultural and leisure events.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FDX1AK - Archival concert poster advertising The Beatles at Northwich Memorial Hall, Cheshire, on Saturday 6 July 1963, with support from The Cadillacs and The Psychos, capturing the rapid rise of British beat music and Beatlemania in the early 1960s. The bill was promoted by Lewis Buckley Entertainments Ltd and advertised admission at ten shillings, with dancing from 7.45pm until 11.45pm and the promise of usual late transport. The same poster also promotes a second Saturday show on 13 July headlined by American rock and roll star Gene Vincent, backed by HMV recording artists The Outlaws, with The Denver Six featuring Rikki Jacks, Danny Havoc and The Ventures also listed. The Beatles appearance on 6 July was one of six performances by the Liverpool group at Northwich Memorial Hall during 1962 and 1963, illustrating how provincial town halls and dance venues helped build their audience before and during their breakthrough to national fame. Their July 1963 Northwich date came during an extraordinary year in which the group moved from regional popularity to mass British stardom. The bold red, yellow, black and cream typography, oversized band names, old pre-decimal ticket prices and densely packed supporting acts are characteristic of British live-music advertising of the period. Northwich Memorial Hall stood on Chester Way and became an important local entertainment venue, hosting numerous major British and international performers. The original hall later closed and was demolished, with Northwich Memorial Court opening on the site in 2015. This poster is a strong visual record of early Beatles touring history, 1960s youth culture, Merseybeat, British rock and roll, local music promotion, concert memorabilia and the era when major acts regularly appeared in modest civic halls across northern England. Their debut LP Please Please Me had been released in March 1963, making this a document from the months immediately before Beatlemania reached its autumn peak.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F12E8A - Johnny Marr performs with his arms stretched wide at Castlefield Bowl in Manchester during the Sounds of the City concert series on Thursday 9 July 2026. The former Smiths guitarist and songwriter stands at the microphone with a black Fender Jaguar electric guitar, while the drummer plays behind him. Purple stage lighting, a large monochrome video screen and Marr's expressive pose give the photograph the scale and energy of a major outdoor headline show.
The sold-out concert was billed as the biggest solo headline performance of Marr's career. It was a significant Manchester homecoming for an artist whose distinctive melodic guitar work helped define The Smiths and influenced generations of alternative and independent musicians. The set combined Marr's solo catalogue, celebrated Smiths songs and new material linked to his forthcoming fifth solo album, The Age of Everything.
Songs reported from the evening included Generate! Generate!, New Town Velocity, Spirit Power and Soul, This Charming Man, Bigmouth Strikes Again, How Soon Is Now?, Panic and There Is a Light That Never Goes Out. The performance connected Marr's current work with the music that established his international reputation. His outstretched stance captures the relationship between performer and hometown audience at an important point in his solo career.
Support came from Manchester band Everything Everything and Irish post-punk group The Clockworks. Castlefield Bowl is an open-air amphitheatre set among canals, railway viaducts and former industrial buildings, giving Sounds of the City concerts a distinctive Manchester character.
The image records an influential British guitarist commanding the stage at his largest solo concert to date. It combines live performance, local music heritage, festival production and popular culture, while showing Marr not only as a former member of The Smiths but as an active recording artist introducing new work to a large multi-generational audience

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6FP - The street sign and architectural frontage of The Star and Garter, a well-known historic pub and live-music venue on Fairfield Street in Ardwick, Manchester, photographed at 18“20 Fairfield Street, Manchester M1 2QF. The pub stands close to Manchester Piccadilly Station, an area long associated with rail travel, warehousing and late-nineteenth-century urban development.
The building features characteristic Victorian red-brick construction with decorative stonework and a prominent street-corner sign identifying Fairfield Street and Ardwick. The Star and Garter has operated as a public house for over a century and is widely recognised in Manchester for its association with alternative music, independent culture and the city's grassroots live-music scene.
In recent decades, the venue has gained national recognition as an important space for emerging bands and experimental music, contributing to Manchester's reputation as a city with a strong and diverse musical heritage. The image documents both the architectural detail of the building and its place within Manchester's historic streetscape, offering editorial value for themes of urban history, pub culture and music venues in northern England. The Star and Garter has long been regarded as one of Manchester's most important grass-roots live-music pubs, particularly for post-punk, indie, noise and DIY scenes. Over the years it has hosted performances by bands closely associated with the city's alternative music heritage, including The Fall, whose members were known to frequent and play small, informal venues around Piccadilly and Ardwick, as well as later generations of experimental and underground acts. More recently, the venue has become a key stop for touring and local artists such as Gnod, Hey Colossus, and Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, reinforcing its reputation as a place where loud, uncompromising music thrives. Rather than hosting polished mainstream shows, the Star and Garter's significance lies in rock.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EDM00R - Black and white live music photograph of Hugh Alan Cornwell performing at The Live Rooms in Chester, Cheshire, on 20 November 2022 during his UK tour for the album Moments of Madness. Cornwell is pictured singing into a microphone while playing electric guitar, with stage lighting picking out his face and instrument against the venue's exposed brick wall. A drum kit and microphone stand are visible behind him, while dark audience silhouettes along the lower edge reinforce the close, intimate atmosphere of a small indoor rock concert. Cornwell was the original singer, guitarist and principal songwriter with The Stranglers, the British group associated with the late-1970s punk and new wave era, before leaving in 1990 and continuing as a solo recording and touring artist. His Stranglers-era songwriting and performances are associated with enduring songs including No More Heroes, Peaches, Golden Brown, Always the Sun and Strange Little Girl, giving later solo appearances strong relevance to British punk, post-punk and new wave music history. The Chester concert formed part of the November and December 2022 Moments of Madness tour, following the release of the ten-track album in October that year. The photograph documents an established British singer-songwriter continuing to perform new material alongside a musical legacy stretching back to the 1970s. The monochrome treatment, hard stage light, guitar, microphone, amplifier equipment and brick backdrop create a direct documentary view of grassroots live music rather than a large arena production. It can illustrate Hugh Cornwell's solo career, former members of The Stranglers, veteran rock musicians, British music heritage, punk and new wave history, live touring after the Covid-era disruption, independent music venues, Chester nightlife and the continuing cultural role of smaller concert rooms in bringing established performers close to audiences.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E91E9P - Live music editorial photograph of Psychedelic Porn Crumpets performing at Albert Hall Manchester on 27 February 2026, showing guitarists on stage under dark concert lighting with drums, microphone stands, cables, pedals and spare electric guitars visible across the performance area. The Australian psychedelic rock band, originally formed in Perth, are strongly associated with colourful, high-energy psych rock, fuzz guitar, garage rock, progressive rock textures and fast, distorted live performances. The right-hand performer appears to be singing or playing lead guitar at the microphone, but the individual should only be named as Jack McEwan if confirmed by the photographer's own notes or venue accreditation, because person identity cannot be verified from this image alone.
The image is suitable for editorial coverage of contemporary Australian rock, UK touring, Manchester concerts, live music photography, independent venues, gig culture and psychedelic music. Albert Hall, a Grade II listed former Wesleyan chapel converted into a major Manchester music venue, gives the performance additional cultural context as part of the city's live music scene. The dark background, spotlight, red stage tones and visible instruments create a strong documentary atmosphere, useful for articles about touring bands, guitar music, alternative music, psych rock revival, music journalism, concert reviews, festival line-ups and the experience of live performance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E91E9K - Black and white editorial concert photograph of House of All performing live at YES in Manchester on 22 November 2025. The image shows an intense on-stage moment, with the guitarist in the foreground under bright venue lighting and the drummer visible behind, creating a strong documentary feel that suits coverage of contemporary post-punk, alternative rock and the enduring musical legacy of former members of The Fall. The monochrome treatment adds grit and atmosphere, emphasising concentration, movement, shadow and stage presence rather than colour spectacle, making the picture especially useful for music journalism, gig reviews, tour coverage, band publicity, cultural features and editorial use connected to Manchester's live music scene. House of All has drawn attention for bringing together musicians associated with The Fall while forging its own identity, and that connection makes the photograph relevant to wider searches around Mark E Smith legacy, post-punk history, cult British bands, underground music culture and veteran performers continuing to create and tour. The tight club setting and visible backline also help place the event within the intimate, working reality of UK independent venues rather than arena scale performance. Useful themes include northern music culture, small venue energy, live guitar, drums, stage lighting, black and white music photography, alternative gig scene and the continued pull of Manchester as a city of serious music heritage. Because sources conflict on the exact room within YES, the safest metadata approach is to caption the performance at YES Manchester rather than pinning it specifically to the Basement unless independently confirmed. That keeps the listing accurate while still preserving the key commercial and editorial value of the image as a live House of All performance in Manchester during late 2025

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2P8H0WW - A tablet screen shows Viagogo secondary marketplace checkout pages for Eurovision Song Contest 2023 Grand Final tickets at the former M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, with one ticket shown at £4,720 before fees for a live TV show that was one of the most sought-after UK entertainment events of the year. The image is a strong editorial concept for ticket resale, ticket touting, inflated prices, online marketplaces, consumer protection and fan anger over the cost of attending major concerts, festivals, sport and televised arena events. Eurovision 2023 was staged in Liverpool on behalf of Ukraine, with the Grand Final held on 13 May 2023, creating huge demand for tickets to the live shows and rehearsals. Official guidance said tickets were sold through Ticketmaster, while published event terms warned that tickets purchased by other means could be invalid. The visible Viagogo page, countdown timer, order details, £4,720 ticket price, booking fee wording and Eurovision branding make the photograph highly searchable for phrases including Eurovision tickets, Viagogo resale, secondary ticketing, ticket scalping, rip-off ticket prices, online checkout, fan exploitation, consumer rights, CMA enforcement, live event fraud risk and unauthorised resale. The image can illustrate news stories, investigations, policy articles, campaign material and opinion pieces about whether high-demand tickets should be capped at face value, how resale platforms present fees, the role of professional touts, bot buying, scarcity, dynamic pricing, unofficial sellers and the risks faced by fans desperate not to miss a one-off event. It also works for stories about digital marketplaces, booking fees, consumer law, entertainment inflation, the live music economy, culture wars over access to popular events, credit card protection, refund disputes, pressure selling, countdown timers, online harms, trust in ticket sites and public concern that ordinary fans are priced out by speculative resale.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6FM - The Star and Garter is a historic public house and long-established grassroots live music venue located on Fairfield Street in Ardwick, Manchester, at 18“20 Fairfield Street, Manchester M1 2QF. The building occupies a prominent corner site close to Manchester Piccadilly Station, an area historically shaped by rail infrastructure, warehouses and working-city activity.
Constructed in Victorian red brick with ornate stone detailing, the pub's distinctive architecture reflects late nineteenth-century urban development in Manchester, when public houses functioned not only as drinking establishments but as important social and cultural meeting places. Architectural features visible in the image include arched windows, decorative cornices and prominent corner signage identifying both the venue and the surrounding street.
Beyond its architectural significance, the Star and Garter has earned national recognition for its role in Manchester's alternative and independent music culture. Over several decades it has operated as a key grassroots venue, hosting live performances spanning post-punk, indie, experimental, noise and DIY music scenes. The venue is widely regarded as an essential testing ground for emerging bands and touring underground acts, contributing to Manchester's reputation as a city with a deep and continually evolving music heritage.
In recent years, venues such as the Star and Garter have also come to symbolise broader debates around the future of independent cultural spaces, rising urban land values, and the pressures faced by small live-music venues within regenerating city centres. As such, the building represents not just a pub or concert space, but a wider narrative about cultural survival, community identity and the importance of grassroots infrastructure within the UK's creative industries.

The recorded location is Longsight, Manchester, Lancashire, England, UK. From a heritage perspective, live music leaves a material trail through venues, tickets, posters, recording equipment and the structures associated with bands and labels
These apparently everyday objects become cultural-history evidence as scenes, technologies and venues change or disappear. In the longer view, graphic design turns practical information into a visual object
Typefaces, colour, layout and printing methods can identify a period or brand, while small items such as tickets and cards preserve events, prices and messages that may exist nowhere else in physical form. As of 2026, live performance and music heritage remain strong drivers of city identity, particularly in places such as Manchester, Liverpool and Edinburgh
Older gig material and venue photographs help trace the transition from physical tickets and community scenes to digital promotion and streaming. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that much ticketing, advertising and personal communication is digital, making older printed ephemera increasingly distinctive as evidence of pre-digital communication
Physical cards, labels and tickets also provide a contrast with QR codes, apps and paperless transactions. As background, popular-music history is often preserved through ephemeral material: concert tickets, venue signage, record-company offices, flyers and amateur recordings
Such objects can connect a specific date and place with wider movements in rock, punk, post-punk and independent music. During 2026, much ticketing, advertising and personal communication is digital, making earlier printed ephemera increasingly distinctive as evidence of pre-digital communication

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KG7YAR - How does Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing work?
The dynamic-pricing system has been used in the United Kingdom for recent sales of tickets to Harry Styles, Coldplay, and Blackpink gigs.
A new Ticketmaster pricing system that alters the price of tickets based on demand is being criticised by fans and industry experts.
The dynamic-pricing system has been used in the United Kingdom for recent sales of tickets to Harry Styles, Coldplay, and Blackpink gigs.
It's regularly employed in the United States, where resale is a lot bigger, and touting is much more prevalent, reports the BBC.
Ticketmaster has now said that it is being used in order to try to stop touts, and to give more money back to artists.
Here's everything you need to know about the system, and how it works.
How does Ticketmaster's new demand-based pricing system work?
On the Ticketmaster page for Harry Styles's tour, a notice explains how its new demand-based system works.
It reads: These tickets vary in price driven by demand from fans, similar to airline tickets and hotel rooms.
We give fans an opportunity to safely buy official tickets for the events they love, right up to the date of the show.
This new pricing system means that Ticketmaster does not publicise ticket costs ahead of time, instead, they charge constantly, based on the demand for tickets

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JG2209 - A high-octane rock and blues outfit that hit like a hurricane, Eddie and The Wolves have been carving out their own unique path for the last few years, dominating the independent scene with a visceral blend of bold, authentic sounds. After first surfacing in 2018 with the release of their titanic debut single ˜Love in the City', the band have been winning over fans and critics alike, and in March, they're set to embark on their most explosive tour to date.
Described by Where The Music Does The Talking as a band you must-see live , Eddie and The Wolves have built their sound on a caustic mix of flowing riffs, funky guitar solos, and thunderous percussion, crafting modern blues anthems that shine with a twist of dirty rock ˜n' roll brilliance.
Having opened for bands like Slade, Razorlight and Reef, and sharing stages with Arrielle, Adam Slack of The Struts, and Kelsey Karter, Eddie and The Wolves have proved their musical mettle time and time again, and their recently released debut album ˜War' has quickly become one of the year's most intoxicating releases. Delivering fourteen tracks that shine with grit, determination, and an undeniably heavy sound.
Described by Stargazer Music Magazine as If Fleetwood Mac had a baby with Biffy Clyro, and that baby was obsessed with Stevie Ray Vaughn , the album is a textured amalgamation of vintage and modern sounds, delivering a whirlwind of originality and colour that soothes the soul, frees the mind, and keeps your utterly entranced.

I've seen Mark E Smith at a range of venues, from sweaty club gigs to confusing 100,000 Gorillaz fans at Glastonbury's main stage, but to see Manchester's most dissident music icon at the city's cathedral felt like it would be a surreal experience.
When the man himself strode past paying customers into the main nave of the grand old building, with the assurance of a man who very much owned the place, it was a double-take moment which seemed fitting of the whole event.
The Fall have been an unusually settled outfit in recent years, now on their fourth consecutive studio album with the same line-up.
For a band which has clocked up almost 70 members “ one of whom was reportedly fired by its iconic frontman and dictator-in-chief for ordering a salad “ it's been a period of relative calm which could have brought accusations of sterility.
The rousing opener ˜Your Future, Our Clutter' quickly dispels any fears of the serene venue taking away any of The Fall's traditional sting, if anything the acoustics of the cathedral add another layer to Smith's barking, hectoring vocals.
The follow-up number ˜I'm not from Bury' seems appropriate as the Prestwich rock deity holds his hometown crowd in the palm of his hand, especially the ones craning their necks around the cathedral's dramatic pillars as he prowls around the stage like an overlord searching for something that needs correcting.
In nearing 40 years as The Fall's supreme leader Smith has exhibited a fondness for ˜live-mixing' during sets “ a tweak of an amp here etc

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DJ7B6T - Misty Miller (born May 10, 1994) is a musician from Wimbledon, England. The young songstress has grown enormously since emerging as a sweet-singing ukulele player when her debut album was released in 2011. But having left college and discovered her own path, Misty has now returned with her own band (guitarist Jak Payne, drummer Dan Lyons and bassist Jack Everett) and two EPs released in 2013 - Next to You and Girlfriend. Her third EP, Sweet Nothing was released through Relentless/Sony in March 2015.
Influenced by the local South London music scene in Brixton, she has matured her sound into something she is far more comfortable in. A strong 60s influence is also evident in the raw vocals, edgy guitar licks and varied verse progressions. Citing the likes of Patti Smith, The Stooges and The Velvet Underground in her ˜eclectic' music taste, this girl goes a long way in capturing the essence of an era of music she adores so much. And, with her debut album set for a July 2015 release, she is just getting started.

The photograph was taken on 17 November 2013. This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. The scene is closely associated with Setlist, Television, Manchester, Academy, set list, songs, listing, set, list and re-union, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The subject has strong relevance to education, school life, pupils, students, classmates, learning and the rituals that mark transitions between stages of childhood and young adulthood. It can support editorial features about schools, the end of term, friendship, uniforms, memories, examinations, moving to a new school, student identity and the social traditions that develop around education. Handwriting, names, clothing, classroom or school-related details can provide authentic visual evidence of personal experience rather than a staged educational concept. The photograph can therefore work for both contemporary education stories and longer-term social-history coverage of how pupils commemorate school years and friendships. Search themes include education, school life, pupils, classmates, school leavers, uniforms, end-of-term traditions, childhood memories and transitions between stages of education. Personal marks, handwriting, clothing or school-related objects give the subject a human documentary quality that is useful for social-history as well as education coverage. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph. The view is firmly rooted in a real location rather than a constructed studio setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DJ7N29 - Television is an American rock band, formed in New York City in 1973 and credited as highly influential and seminal.
Television was part of the 1970s New York rock scene, along with musical acts like the Patti Smith Group, The Ramones, Blondie, Richard Hell, and Talking Heads. Although they recorded in a raw manner similar to their contemporaries, minimalizing the use of studio techniques, sound effects and atypical instruments, Television's music was unique and technically proficient, defined by guitarists Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd. The group's debut album, Marquee Moon, is often considered one of the defining releases of the punk era.
Lester Bangs heard in Television's music the influence of Quicksilver Messenger Service, noting a similarity between Verlaine's guitar playing and that of John Cipollina.[3] Tom Verlaine has downplayed the comparison, citing the Ventures as a more apt reference point. In 2004, Robert Christgau pointed to the debt that Television owed to the San Francisco scene of the late 1960s, directly comparing Verlaine's guitar playing to that of Jerry Garcia

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDJNHA - Bernard John Bernie Marsden (born 7 May 1951) is an English rock guitarist. Having played with Glenn Cornick's Wild Turkey in 1974, he then played with Babe Ruth, from 1975“76, before becoming an original member of Paice Ashton Lord in 1977 and then joining the hard rock band, Whitesnake, after having the possibility of playing with his boy-time hero Paul McCartney and Wings because while waiting, David Coverdale asked him to form Whitesnake.
In more recent years, Marsden has toured with his bands Company of Snakes, M3 (both formed with fellow former Whitesnake members Micky Moody and Neil Murray), and performed with Elkie Brooks. Over the years he has taken part in a number of sessions and has released a handful of solo albums (And About Time, Too!, Look at Me Now, Green & Blues, Stacks). He has also collaborated with Micky Moody on a number of Marsden-Moody live and studio projects.
On the Sweden Rock Festival on 10 June 2011 Bernie Marsden played with Whitesnake for the first time since 1981, thus becoming the second of only two former Whitesnake band members who have played with Whitesnake in recent years, the other person being Adrian Vandenberg, who also played with them on the Sweden Rock Festival. In the last ten years, Marsden has been involved in very different projects. The most unusual being two engagements at the National Theatre in London for Nickolas Hytner's productions of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale and Henry the V in collaboration with Simon Webb. Also, he appeared in ZDF television in Germany for their production of Frankie, a six-part TV special.
After this, Marsden has worked alongside Robert Plant, Paul Weller, Ian Paice and Jon Lord for a charity concert in London. Bernie also played Guitar with Ringo Starr and his son Zak Starkey in Monte Carlo. Most recently, he has been playing and writing for guitar virtuoso Joe Bonamassa.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CFE7PN - . Edirol concert recording bootlegging music recorder in a bootleggers hand. Photographed on 10 March 2012. Looking at the subject's development, music scenes are shaped by both performers and infrastructure, including rehearsal rooms, record labels, promoters, venues and audiences
Photographs of these details help document local cultural ecosystems that can be lost quickly through redevelopment or changing entertainment habits. In historical terms, technology objects become historical remarkably quickly
Telephones, calculators, cameras, valves, televisions and workplace machines chart successive shifts from mechanical and analogue systems to electronics, digital processing, smartphones and cloud-connected services. For the 2026 context, the economics of live music remain under scrutiny as independent venues face costs while audiences increasingly discover and consume music digitally
Historic tickets, venue exteriors and recording technology therefore provide a useful contrast with today's streaming-led music economy. During 2026, technology is dominated by connected devices, cloud services and rapid product cycles
Historic hardware therefore offers a useful counterpoint to contemporary debates about electronic waste, right-to-repair, data dependence and the speed with which once-common devices become obsolete. The wider historical story is that live music leaves a material trail through venues, tickets, posters, recording equipment and the buildings associated with bands and labels
These apparently everyday objects become cultural-history evidence as scenes, technologies and venues change or disappear. Historically, popular-music history is often preserved through ephemeral material: concert tickets, venue signage, record-company offices, flyers and amateur recordings
Such objects can connect a specific date and place with wider movements in rock, punk, post-punk and independent music.

The image shows electronic music pioneer John Foxx centre stage at a Roland keyboard and microphone, surrounded by analogue and digital synthesizers, live percussion, keyboards and stage equipment under vivid pink, blue and white concert lights. The wider band line-up for this period included Ben Edwards, better known as Benge, plus Hannah Peel and Serafina Steer, bringing keyboards, violin, bass and vocals into the live version of The Maths. The photograph has strong editorial value for features on British electronic music, post-punk, synth-pop, new wave heritage, analogue synthesizer culture, independent touring, Manchester gigs, university music venues and the revival of classic electronic artists in the 2010s. John Foxx is closely associated with early Ultravox, the influential solo album Metamatic, minimal electronic pop, art-school futurism and the continuing British synth tradition. The setting and lighting give the image a documentary concert feel, with visible keyboards, microphone stands, cables, stage monitors and performers spread across the frame, making it useful for music press, archive, venue history, fan culture, live performance reviews and retrospective pieces on the Interplay era. The Manchester Academy context also links the photograph to the city's long relationship with electronic music, from post-punk experimentation and independent labels to later club, synth and alternative scenes. The Alamy watermark indicates this is already a stock image preview, but the subject remains clear: a live stage panorama of John Foxx and The Maths in Manchester at the start of the 2010s, capturing the mix of veteran electronic songwriting and contemporary analogue performance that defined the project.

The image also relates to changing streetscape, music-scene memorial, documentary photography, local character, public realm, popular-music heritage, commemorative plaque, community tribute, everyday life, archival record, contemporary social history, historical comparison, regional music heritage, and music memorial. Today's relevance is strengthened by commemoration, grassroots culture and the continuing question of how public plaques turn personal remembrance into shared cultural memory. Small period details of equipment and working practice at Wolverhampton Civic Hall, North St, Wolverhampton, UK WV1 1RQ may become more significant with time, particularly following later reinterpretation. The surrounding story also includes memorial culture, DJ culture, club-music history, place identity, community identity, local remembrance, changing land use, and before-and-after reference. Details involving surfs, Anansie, crowd, above, and Civic make the image more specific than a generic view and strengthen its local or historical value. For Wolverhampton Civic Hall, North St, Wolverhampton, UK WV1 1RQ, the photograph contributes to a cumulative visual history in which changes in use, signs, access and appearance can be traced over time. The image also provides a reference for commemoration and the fragility of local music history when venues and scenes disappear within the real-world context of Wolverhampton Civic Hall, North St, Wolverhampton, UK WV1 1RQ.

The band formed in 1976 in London and Vanian is the only ever-present member of the group. They were the first of the British punk bands to release a single, an album, have a record hit the UK charts, and tour the United States.
Lett changed his name to Dave Vanian (pronounced as in 'Transylvanian') when he became a musician, having previously worked as a gravedigger.
He was one of the early influencers of gothic fashion by wearing dark and otherworldly clothing both on-stage and off. In November 1976, the British music magazine, NME, commented that Vanian 'resembles a runaway from The Addams Family'.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 6797306643 - 'Babybird are a British indie band formed in 1995. The band is fronted by Stephen Jones, who has also released records as a solo artist, using his own name.
Jones had begun writing songs and recording home demos as part of an experimental theatre group in Sheffield. A collection of these demos, I Was Born a Man, was released in July 1995, under the name Babybird. He recruited a band made up of Huw Chadbourn (keyboards), Robert Gregory (drums), John Pedder (bass) and Luke Scott (guitar), in order to tour and promote his work.
During 1995, two further albums of demo recordings were released under the name Babybird (Bad Shave and Fatherhood) and two in 1996 (The Happiest Man Alive and Dying Happy). Babybird were signed to Echo Records (a division of the Chrysalis Group), and the first authentic single, a full-band recording of 'Goodnight', which had appeared in demo form on Fatherhood, was released in July 1996, becoming a minor hit in the UK Singles Chart. The group's second single, 'You're Gorgeous', reached number 3 in the UK in October 1996, and was one of the biggest selling singles of the year, going on to chart around the world.
Stephen can laugh about it on tour, but 'You're Gorgeous' set a difficult precident to follow. It hurts so much that it rarely gets played nowadays, more a millstone around his and Babybirds neck. Arguably, the commercial sound and success of 'You're Gorgeous', which received massive exposure by comparison, made it hard for many to take Jones seriously as an indie artist. Essentially, what he was best at was no longer what he was best known for, after it.
Stephen Jones has produced two works of fiction, The Bad Book in 2000 and Harry and Ida Swop Teeth (also the title of a Babybird b-side) in 2003. He also collaborated with DED Associates, who have designed many of his CD covers, on a 2000 art book Travel Sickness.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 6280475123 - 'John Foxx was born in Chorley, Lancashire, England and probably best known for his early days as lead singer of late 1970's band Ultravox!
The group's style fused punk, glam, electronic, reggae and new wave music. At this early time they were defined by the album 'Systems Of Romance', an album produced by Kraftwerk associate Connie Plank. Its justly regarded as the first synthpop album.
Foxx left Ultravox after a 1980 US tour and was signed to Virgin.He was way ahead of his time with the Metamatic and Garden albums, the singles 'Burning Car' &
'Underpass'. In 1985 he gave up his music career to become a graphic artist. In the 1990's he did re-emerge with a synth-pop sound. A trickle of releases and remixes have followed.
John Foxx And The Maths are touring the UK during October 2011. They will be performing material from their new album Interplay as well as classic songs from early Ultravox and John\u2019s solo career. This includes material from his pioneering debut album, 1980\u2032s Metamatic.
The tour started in Leamington Spa, then Bristol Thekla, I saw them Friday the 21st of October, 2011 at the Manchester Academy 4. Special guest was Tara Busch.
The last album Interplay is a collaboration between Foxx and electronic composer and synthesizer collector, Benge (Ben Edwards). The latter is best known for his 2008 album Twenty Systems, which was described by Brian Eno as a \u2018Brilliant contribution to the archaeology of electronic music.\u2019
The band are from left to right, Hannah Peel (Keyboards / Violin), John Foxx, Benge (Ben Edwards on drums) and Serafina Steer (on Keyboards, Bass).
The Shape Of Things limited edition double CD will also be available at the John Foxx And The Maths shows and then after via the Official John Foxx Store

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5151969435 - 'Solitary are a Lancashire based rock/metal band. They are Richard Sherrington (original member) on vox &
guitars, Roy Miller on drums, Andy Mellor on lead guitar and Mike Park on Bass. They are caught here at the Winnington Halloween gig in some more than usual fancy dress.
Solitary formed in Preston 1994 and signed to UK label Holier Than Thou Records in 1997, they made their first appearance on the HTT compilation \u201cGenetically Fresh\u201d which attracted interest from the JMG Agency who lined up support slots with Kill 2 This, Reign and Deranged from Sweden. May the following year Solitary record \u201cNothing Changes\u201d Solitary then embarked on two UK tours to promote the album, which was released in November 1998.
In 2008 a new album \u201cRequiem\u201d, over a four-year period fraught with personal highs and lows the band created a 'Thrash Metal Monster', which was hailed as a must for the fans of Testament, God Forbid, Slayer or The Haunted. Influenced by the aforementioned bands and the 80\u2019s Bay Area bands.
\u201cRequiem\u201d contains a guest vocal appearance from Chris Astley of 80\u2019s Thrashers Xentrix on the track \u201cHatred\u201d the CD also has cover of Testament\u2019s \u201cInto the Pit\u201d. When writing the album Solitary used inspirational albums such as \u201cSlaughter of the Soul\u201d, \u201c The Gathering\u201d, \u201c A New Darkness Upon Us\u201d and \u201cGone Forever\u201d as reference points to help them create the same feeling as those albums generated when they first heard them whether or not they\u2019ve done that remains to be seen.
The artwork created by bassist Michael Park uses the original cover of a book published in 1736. The band are also shooting a video for \u201cKeep Your Enemies Closer\u201d in early September as well as having tracks on the CD cover mounts on Metal Hammer and Terrorizer in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4642808695 - 'On monday I had the pleasure of seeing Anton and the rest of the BJM at the Manchester Academy. I must admit that they had slipped pretty much completely under my radar until the adorable Lisa Jackson put me on track with them and I was instantly hooked. Deadly rivals with the Dandy Warhols, the band are a brilliant enigma. I didn't really know what to expect as some gigs I have heard as live tapes often just feature Anton swearing at the band for 90 minutes. Monday (thankfully) was not like that :-)
The best introduction to the BJM is 'Tepid Peppermint Wonderland - A Retrospective'. well worth a download or \u00a34 from ebay. The BJM and former friends/rivals The Dandy Warhols were the subject of the acclaimed documentary DiG!, which Lisa let me borrow. This is part myth, part fact, but an entertaining 70 minutes of stalking, rivalry and attempted murder &
kidnap. i would also highly recommend this.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre (BJM) is a neo-psychedelic rock band, led by Anton Newcombe. The group was founded by Newcombe, Matt Hollywood, Ricky Rene Maymi, Patrick Straczek and Travis Threlkel in the early 1990s in San Francisco. The current members are Anton Newcombe, Matt Hollywood, Frankie 'Teardrop' Emerson, Ricky Rene Maymi, Collin Hegna, Dan Allaire, Rob Campanella, Will Carruthers and Joel Gion. The name 'Brian Jonestown Massacre' is a mash-up of The Rolling Stones' guitarist Brian Jones and the infamous mass cult suicide in Jonestown, Guyana.
The band have recorded albums that could fit into a variety of musical genres across their history. 1995's Methodrone approximates the UK shoegazing 'Verve' / 'Supergrass' sound of the time, a sound they would return to with the band's 2008 album, My Bloody Underground.
Their music has been extensively used in films and TV, particularly the track 'Going To Hell' ('Dead Mans Curve' , 'Buffy The Vanpire Slayer') and 'You Look Great When I'm Fucked Up' fron C4's Skins.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5164712933 - 'The Rocker - 'Thin Lizzy' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
A track from the late great Phil Lynott. I heard this live finishing up a set at the Manchester Apollo in 1979 I think, December time.
The band often used to finish up with this track in celebration of a guy called Ted Carroll. He had brought the band to London from Dublin in the early 70's and he ran a Saturday record stall called 'Rock On' on Golborne Road, Off Ladbroke Grove market.
Carroll was involved with early Chiswick label artists and the founders of Stiff records (motto 'If it aint Stiff, it aint worth a f**k). Thus was instrumental in producing and pressing a great many of the 70's vinyls in my loft. He never was involved in a Thin Lizzy release however, Decca and Phongram were the bands labels, with the former involved with the band releasing an album of Deep Purple covers.
Thin Lizzy's leader, Lynott was composer or co-composer of almost all their songs. He was one of the few black men to achieve commercial success in hard rock, and was certainly the first black Irishman to do so. As well as being multiracial, the band drew their members not only from both sides of the Irish border but also from both the Catholic and Protestant communities.
For a great introduction to Thin Lizzy, the live album 'Live and Dangerous' is your only option. There is some disagreement over just how much of the album is actually recorded live. Producer Tony Visconti claimed that the only parts that weren't overdubbed were the drums and the audience. However Brian Robertson has refuted this, saying that he had refused Lynott's request to re-record a guitar solo, and that the only overdubs were backing vocals and some guitar parts by Gorham. He added, 'It's just not true. The only reason we said that it was recorded all over was obviously for tax reasons... so everything that Visconti claims is boll**ks.
Listen for yourself and make your own mind up :-)

The Fender Cyclone was a series of electric guitars made by Fender. Introduced in late 1997, the Cyclone body is similarly styled to the Mustang but with a significantly different specification. The body of the Cyclone is a quarter of an inch thicker than the body of a Mustang and is made of poplar, whereas contemporary Mustang reissues were made of basswood.
The Fender Cyclone was discontinued in 2007.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3119042500 - 'Primal Scream, live on stage at Manchester Apollo 12/12/2008 2008 Beautiful Future tour.
Primal Scream are the definitive Scottish alternative rock group. They formed in 1982 in Glasgow by Bobby Gillespie (vocals) and Jim Beattie. The current lineup consists of Gillespie, Andrew Innes (guitar), Martin Duffy (keyboards), Gary 'Mani' Mounfield (bass), and Darrin Mooney (drums). Barrie Cadogan toured with the band in 2006 as a temporary replacement after the departure of guitarist Robert 'Throb' Young. Young's permanent replacement has not yet been announced.
The band performed throughout 1982-1984, but their career didn't especially take off until Gillespie left his position as drummer of The Jesus and Mary Chain. The band were a key part of the mid-1980s indie pop scene, but eventually moved away from their more jangly sound, taking on more psychedelic and then garage rock influences, before incorporating a dance music element to their sound. Their 1991 album Screamadelica broke the band into the mainstream.
On July 21, 2008, Primal Scream released a new album called Beautiful Future described by new producer Bjorn Yttling as sounding 'much more pop and Krautrock than before.
Critics suggested it sounds a bit like Alan Vega and Suicide. In July 2008, the first single from the album, entitled 'Can't Go Back', was released. The track was produced by Paul Epworth who also produced the album's title track. The tour followed and hence these shots.
