My first photo assign­ment for online music magazine Drowned in Sound was to shoot Scot­tish quar­tet Sons & Daugh­ters, sup­por­ted by noisy Welsh post-​​rockers Gal­lops, at The Lex­ing­ton.

I’m not really sure why it took me so long to get round to put­ting these up. I’ve already put a small num­ber on Flickr, but this is the full set of pho­tos from a visit to the Lake Dis­trict, unques­tion­ably my favour­ite part of Eng­land, in April. Included is a pic of me which I’ve put in for pos­ter­ity — you’ll see why when you look at it.

The Slaughtered Lamb in Clerken­well is a very small, intim­ate venue where Hjaltalín, one of the most pop­u­lar homegrown bands in Ice­land, played a set at the start of their European tour. I went along to take some pic­tures, and also to enjoy what was a very well received and very enter­tain­ing per­form­ance. You can read my review at The 405.

My recent visit to Highg­ate cemetery was part of a tour of Lon­don with friends, and took in Bor­ough Mar­ket, the fin­an­cial dis­trict in the City of Lon­don, and the Thames Bar­rier. Here are a selec­tion of pho­to­graphs from the rest of the day.

I went to Highg­ate Cemetery with a group of friends yes­ter­day. I’d not been before, des­pite hav­ing lived in Lon­don for about 17 years, so was pleas­antly sur­prised by the amaz­ing atmo­sphere and range of beau­ti­ful statues, and the ivy grow­ing over everything. Here is a selec­tion of the angels and other statues over­look­ing the departed.

Update: More pho­tos from the people who came with me:
