Paul has been the singer with The Undertones for 25 years now and not only is he an excellent frontman but also a thoroughly decent gent… as you can see from this pic he was only happy to help when someone wanted to get directions to the toilets 😂 📸 @mickpeek.bsky.social

There was no pit access to take pics of Echo & The Bunnymen when they headlined @shiiineon.bsky.social last in November, so I had to grab this one of Macca from the crowd.

This year’s “Home Is Where The Heart Is” show by The Chameleons was made even more special by the beautiful environment of Manchester’s Albert Hall. This 1900s Chapel Hall added to the “religious” feeling of bringing the band & crowd together as one…“We Are All Chameleons” 📸 @mickpeek.bsky.social

@willsergeant.com of The Bunnymen when they headlined @shiiineon.bsky.social Imho Will is incredibly underrated & his guitar sound was so influential to many bands in the 80s (& ones now too). So, nice to capture him here partially silhouetted by the iconic Bunny Creature 📸 @mickpeek.bsky.social
