Had a lovely treat this morning when I got the NME. Went 'On The Road' with Les Savy Fav, Sky Larkin and Cloud Nothings a couple of weekends ago as part of the Wichita Records 10th Anniversary Wichiten Tour. The first night in Glasgow was pretty good, despite seeing lots of good old fashioned Glaswegian Saturday night fighting, very relieved to finally get back to the hotel with camera in one piece! However Glasgow was really just warm up for Constellations festival in Leeds. I've done seven or eight 'On The Roads' now but never have any of them passed through my 'home town' Leeds so this one was a bit different. Constellations was an especially good date to stop at since Liars and Broken Social Scene, both bands I've previously done OTR's with were playing so it was ace to see those guys as well as loads and loads of my Leeds buddies. All the Wichita bands and their TM Pete were really lovely and it was a pleasure to tour with and shoot them.

Anyway if you wanna find out what happened you'll have to grab a copy of the NME and read Rob Webb's OTR piece!

Big shout out to all the people who helped with/came to say hi at Constellations!; Nath, Si Stevens, Ryan Esson, Camille, Hannah S, Bart 'Baaaarrrrr' Pettman, Danny Payne, Daniel Heaton, Andy, Burwell, Kate & Pete, Elly, Andy Cook, Chickenhawk, Liars, Broken Social Scene and anyone else I've missed! Lovely to see you all!!!

Big super-huge thanks to Hannah C for helping me with my lights during and extremely rushed group portrait - couldn't have done it without you.

And of course big props to Rob Webb and the super Fliss my NME tour buddies!

I've posted a full gallery of images from the tour on my FLICKR
