The Norwegian Fjords, one of the most stunning places on Earth. Travelling on P&O’s magnificent Iona was simply magical. I even had the small matter of working along the way as one of the guest speakers! What a sublime and beautiful way to see Norway. We’ll definitely be doing it again

RIP Elliot Franks. The brilliant photographer and friend of mine for over 25 years. I’m in total shock. I have no idea what happened. This is awful news. #elliotFranks #Photographer #RIP #Press #Politics

My wife, Lyn and I popped outside and watched the solar eclipse a little while ago. The sky darkened as it started and this was our view as we walked out of the front of the farm. It was a very strange light and then along came the partial eclipse #Eclipse #Countrylife #sky #Farm #Sun #Moon

Pink Floyd & The Forbidden Chair!

I was born in London’s East End.

I just found photos that I took in 1978. I haven’t seen them before. For just under 50 years they have been unseen. So a few months before I became Bob Dylan’s official photographer I photographed Joan Armatrading backstage at Bob’s biggest ever gig at Blackbushe. She was so nice to me, I was 19.

It’s lucky I am not flying anywhere today. London’s Heathrow airport (LHR) is closed due to major fire outage at the sub power station nearby. Now, I wonder where Vladimir Putin was last night at the time the fire started? I hope he has a good alibi! Just saying!

Danny Clifford @dannyclifford.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

What a great shot by Ron Pownall of Bob Dylan. It was taken 4 years before I became Bob’s official photographer. What an amazing tour I was on then. It was ‘Street Legal’ & we started in the tour in the US Sept 1978. I was only 20 years old and on tour with Dylan! It was an amazing time! #BobDylan

Rory Gallagher & Ted McKenna & me at rehearsals, London,1978. Rory was laughing hysterically. I asked why, and he said he had seen singer Del Shannon perform & he played his hit ‘Rnaway’ 3 times during the show & then as the encore! Rory thought it was so funny! Which it was! #rorygallagher #Guitar
