Broken Glass On Broadway Review

Broken Glass On Broadway
Broken Glass On Broadway are a young band that started off in Clonmel in Dublin the band consist of 5 close friends on vocals we have Kyle Fitzpatrick, Dylan Fogarty on Guitar/Keys/Synth, David O'Connor on Guitar/Keys/Synth, James McGrath on Bass and Alex Ridley on Drums/ Percussion. They have played gigs around Clonmel, Dublin, Limerick and Cork and they have support some well known acts like Miracle Bell, Ollie Cole and Ryan Sheridan.

I have worked with these guys a lot and I have great hope for this band that this is their year to make it big I recently done a photo shoot with them and I also done their live shots for their gig when they Supported Ollie Cole in The Grand Social. Their was a small crowed their to see the support acts but Broken Glass on Broadway came out and played a great set the lads have posted their songs up onto their Facebook and Myspace pages and I can honestly say they are all 10/10. they are a young band with a lot of talent to make it big. Broken Glass On Broadway live performance 10/10, songs 10/10.  






TKO Live in Whelans Keystone EP Launch Party 19-03-2011

 
I have been so lucky to shoot for some very well known Irish bands the likes of Republic of Loose, The Coronas and many more but nothing beats working with some brilliant up and coming bands who will one day make it big time one band that I enjoyed working with are a band from Dublin called TKO the band went on a 5date Irish tour they hit Cork, Dundalk, Galway, Limerick and their EP launch was in Whelans in Dublin.

TKO had brilliant support on the night by two bands called The Lynchburg Mob & Jack and The Band they both played brilliant sets. TKO came out and rock out to a sold out Whelans and I can honestly say I have never seen a up and coming band with such massive support. TKO’s EP which is called Keystone I would rate it 10/10 they are one band to watch out for this year.




The Coronas live at The Button Factory 24th March 2011

I am the photographer for the Trinity Student nights that are held in The Button Factory in Dublin I have shot sets from bands like Republic of Loose, Bipolar Empire and many more it was great to be asked back to shoot the brilliant Coronas.
The lads recently came back from their tour in America so to be able to shoot their first Dublin gig since their sold out shows in December in The Olympia was a great experience for me. Before the gig I managed to catch up with the band back stage I managed to get a couple band shots and gave quick interveiw with the lads to find out how their tour went about their new album and how they feel to be back home in Ireland.


At 12.45 the band came out to a wild and over joyed full house where they played hit songs like Heroes or Ghosts, Grace, Don't Wait!, Make A Change, San Diego Song, Won't Leave You Alone, Far From Here, Someone Else's Hands, Tony Was An Ex-Con they also played two new songs. I was so lucky to then join the band on stage to shoot from on stage with the band when they done a cover of Heyday and two more hit songs to close to what can only be describe and one of the best intimated shows I have ever seen and shot at
