    Very sad to hear of the death of Brian Griffin, the photographer behind iconic sleeves for Echo and the Bunnymen, Depeche Mode, Teardrop Explodes, Joe Jackson, Siouxsie and many more #RIP

    RIP Annie Nightingale. Such sad news. A pioneer on both radio and TV, a hugely important champion of great music, and a genuinely lovely person, as today's beautiful tributes prove

    RIP Alan Rankine. He gave us such great music with The Associates, solo and producing the likes of Cocteau Twins, Paul Haig, Pale Fountains, Anna Domino and Belle & Sebastian. Beautiful photo of Billy and Alan taken by Anton Corbijn for the NME

    On this day in 1981, I was taking photos of Bauhaus at Birmingham's Locarno. It was only the second concert that I photographed. Thankfully, they were a very photogenic band THREAD 1 of 5
