Andy Cook is known to many around the South Yorkshire area as a stalwart gig-goer and champion of independent music. However, he also takes the odd photo…

Over the last year or so these ‘odd photos’ have been evolving into something else altogether… From the early days of the odd flacid pic of Doncaster bands it’s fair to say his craft is now positively engorged; with a press pass to the 2009 Reading Festival under his belt and shots featured by some of the countries best music coverage outlets he is certainly making his mark.

We will attempt to pin him down for a few words at some point… for now enjoy these choice shots…

  3. most live shots i see are usually quite dull, andy seems to capture something that makes the photo seem a little more exciting.
    would love to see more staged band promo shots.

Here at Destroy before Reading are very excited to be building a library of live sessions of local (and not so local) bands. Often in association with Higher Rhythm Studios, the sessions are a unique snapshot of bands in session, playing live.

Click the images to view the posts about the videos and see the footage from the day.
