Taken in May in County Sligo, the project began as an exploration of my heritage via my Great-Grandfather Joe Neilan, but quickly instead became about how the landscape, mythology, folklore and stories reflect my own inner world

I am super pleased to say that thanks to a worldwide community of music, culture and history lovers, the total funds raised by my Kickstarter campaign stands at £26,246. A huge success!
530 backers across the globe meant that not only was the first goal reached, but also a £25k stretch goal, allowing me to print a few extra books, and give some away to community organisations, schools libraries etc!

A big thanks to Richard Akingbehin and Resident Advisor, for giving me the space to talk about some of my favourite music related photos & a little bit about my history with photography and music.

A big thanks to Richard Akingbehin who wrote this really well researched and thoughtful feature about the Dubstep forum and its impact on the evolution of Dubstep. It’s illustrated with 5 of my photos of the early Dubstep scene, from my Drumz Of The South series.
I was happy to be mentioned in the feature for my contributions to Dubstep Forum in the form of links to my Flickr Albums of events like DMZ, FWD>> and Skull Disco.
I was an active user of the forum from 2004 onwards and it was very important in building my network and growing an audience for my music photography. I made friends through the forum that I am still in touch with today and while as Richard points out, the forum went from being something fairly intimate to an absolute beast, it’s still very close to my heart!
