Wiggin' out in East London



Had an opportunity too good to miss snapping some shots of the after party for BBC's Sports Personality of the Year 2012 at the Excel centre, east London last night.  



The gig started as a gala dinner for all those nominated for the awards ceremony in the main arena, including many team GB athletes of course.  After the awards, they returned to a transformed space to let their collective hair down and enjoy a night of celebration for what has been a massive year for many of then.


A big year indeed for Bradley Wiggins, who took the top prize of Sports Personality of the Year.  As the band - RPJ - got into the swing of its set, Wiggins came up on stage to offer a few words of thanks to the crowd.  When the call came from the audience to play a song, he pensively asked "Is there a spare guitar?"  Without hesitation, the lead guitarist handed over his 'axe'.  Wiggins then ripped into a very passable That’s Entertainment by The Jam, followed by Wonderwall by Oasis, supported by RPJ, and a punter for vocals on That's Entertainment!

Enjoy!

Xmas shenanigans




How does it come around so quickly?  Fresh mornings with ice on the ground, mince pies on sale and every shop playing Nutcracker on the PA…  But as ever, English National Ballet knows how to take on this season in style.



Amber and I had great fun shooting ENB's Christmas party last night.  Never a shy bunch, there was a cue forming before we'd even finished setting up the photo booth.  And the results?  Well see for yourself with the link below.

ENB Xmas Party



And if you'd rather the condensed version, have a look at this:


ENB will be opening their winter season at the London Coliseum on the 12th of December with The Nutcracker.  And followed up by Sleeping Beauty in the new year.  Both stunning productions, well worth a look.
