Charlotte Church & Jerry Lee Lewis
Today was a busy day. I had loads of admin to try and catch up on. Then off to Ascot races to photograph Charlotte Church/ I t was a big racing day there, I thinkit was the Dubai Cup or something like that.. I dont know much about horse racing.. I suppose I was put of a bit years ago when I was pony trekking and the bastard that I was riding (or attempting to) threw me off, into a barbed wire fence.. Since then, me and horses... umm. Anyway, Charlotte was on stage on time.

Although she apologised for her squeeky voice, she said she had been a lazy cow and not done much singing for the past few months. She was being refreshingly honest and very nice. I shot the first three songs, as requested and then promptly buggered off to my car. I then headed staright off to the Shepherds Bush Empire in West London. I was doing a shoot with Jerry Lee Lewis backstage, then shooting the show.. So, I arrived there and was escorted by Jim Driver up stairs to the dressing rooms. I had to wait about an hour for the shoot, but that was fine. During my hours waite I had a very nice chat with Pheobe Lewis, Jerry's daughter. I think we put the world to right. She was telling me about a new book she is reading at the moment. Its all about terrorists and smallpox.. It sounds awful. Anyway, I was gven the nod and then I did a quick shoot with Jerry Lee Lewis, then he went down in the elevator and joined his Killer Band on stage.

I did shoot from the side of the stage and as it happened I was lucky really, the light was pretty poor, but just abouty ok from where I was shooting from.

Chas and Dave who were supporting Jerry Lee Lewis on this small tour, were standing right behind me when I was shooting.. They were watching every move, or lack of move in reality of the great man.. After a while I felt I had enough shots and said my goodbye's to JW and Phoebe and left the building..
