The Leave a Lasting Mark Series: Rock Songs of 93

The person in the last photograph is a man called Sam Teichman, who regularly runs marathons and fundraisers alike. Several years ago (October 2010), I shot the very first LaLM, which was themed on Born To Run. The purpose of the first one was to raise more funds to sponsor his marathon running. It consisted of lots of musicians performing Springsteen’s great hits over two hours and twenty performers, raised about $1500+ and the profile of a lot of the people involved. Fans got to hear new bands, everyone got to meet new people and the atmosphere was perfect.

It hadn’t been planned to be as regular a reoccurrence as it has since become (thought to be a yearly thing, it is more often every two months) and a whole bunch of money has been raised for various charities since then. Some of my favourite songs of 93 from last night’s show included Creep by Radiohead (sung by Dave Pittenger, pictured second to last) and the very last group song I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers (led by Freedom Bremner, sung by everyone).

I met some new friends and caught up with old ones, and the atmosphere was great. My photos from the night are now up on Flickr and Facebook.

Leddra Chapman - All About You (Official Video)

In January, I went out with Leddra to a few of the dates of her sold out tour and filmed bits and pieces. We finished the video last night and it is currently BBC Radio 2’s Record of the Week. It’s a great song, and I hope you enjoy the video which features lots of fans and silliness along the way.

Filmed and edited by MidTea

Mikill Pane - I Can Feel It

I collaborated with Murray on this video from Mikill Pane’s EP Launch. The live footage is a mixture of three videographers, and then painstakingly edited by Murray. I’m quite chuffed with how it all came out.

Tom Kane wanted to do a session with MidTea, and this is the first of two videos. He chose to cover an old folk song by John Martyn called Spencer the Rover. Hope you enjoy it.

The Ruby Kid - The Unreal City Revisited

This is the first real, long collection of footage that I’ve filmed, directed, edited and all that for MidTea. The Ruby Kid is a spoken word lad I met over the last six months and I really enjoy his work. If I didn’t, I don’t think I could’ve perservered through it all but I hope you enjoy this.
