Started to photograph/review for the getreadytorockwebsite 2008- 2013 and the Classic Rock Society Magazine 2009 - 2018, both of these supplied me with photo passes. Also reviewed and photographed for Hot Music Live and have had many photos and reviews published in the Leamington Courier, both paper and website, and a few other publications. I photograph at the Leamington Assembly/Zephyr Lounge between 2009 - 2019 also photographed at various Cambridge Rock Festivals, Cropredy and Warwick Folk Festivals, and occasionally other music venues/festivals and thanks to being a member of the Leamington Spa Photographic Society for a few years many of my live music photos have been accepted in exhibitions both UK and in Europe. Have had 5 previous exhibitions of my live music photography held in Leamington Spa including 2 at The Spa Centre and the last one at The Oak House in 2018 which raised over £800 pounds for charities. These days I regularly cover gigs in the Leamington/Warwick area including Temperance, The Old Post Office, Southbound and local festivals and regularly show my work on Facebook and Instagram also a full archive of my images and reviews can be found on my website. http://www.andrewlocksoundsandvisions.co.uk/ "http://www.andrewlocksoundsandvisions.co.uk" Admission free.
