Roy Turnham, drummer with the Liverpool-based band Atonal, at a gig at the Slaughter House, Liverpool, 2002 or 2003.
In later years, Roy became a successful Paralympian, representing England at Visually Impaired 5-a-Side Football, as well as representing England at Visually Impaired Cricket, AND England Men's champion at Visually Impaired Tennis.
In music, not only is he a fantastic drummer, he is an accomplished singer and guitarist.

Out-take from a set I'm working on - the band is playing, why are you all looking so glum?

JI @ The Masque, Liverpool, 28th August 2003.
This was the Beach Party gig with Atonal and Junk Culture, where the sound engineer turned up 3 hours late, and Atonal turned up without a drummer.
A mix of highly cropped scans from an SLR and frames from a low end digital camera.

Milk @ Star And Garter, Manchester, 28th June 2001.
Taken from a recently discovered old batch of photos that I've just scanned.
I think these were taken with a 35mm compact rather than an SLR, hence the poor quality.

#introductions
I'm madcam, formerly a photographer working for a bunch of bands, primarily in the North-west of England, but with some significant work with bands from Wales, London, and Los Angeles (!!).
I'm (very slowly) putting all my archives online, and hope to get it finished some time before the universe dies of heat death.
I'm not active in the business any longer, most of what I do now is on a camera phone when I go to the occasional gig.
