Event: The Hallé Orchestra Live from Jodrell Bank, Cheshire
Photographers: Simon J. Newbury, Tina Newbury

The fourth and final Transmission from Jodrell Bank in Cheshire this year was the wonderful Hallé Orchestra. A very different event from the previous transmissions and a different atmosphere. It was a night of proms, picnics and exceptional fireworks!

The Hallé said of the event:

A concert inspired by the stars will feature Jupiter and Mars from Holst’s The Planets, classics by Strauss, Mozart and John Williams, as well as a selection of out-of-this-world film music such as Star Wars, Independence Day, E.T., Apollo 13, Close Encounters and more.

The event was a fantastic way to wind up the festival season after a great summer of music photography for us here at Simon J. Newbury Photography. As well as all four Live From Jodrell events we photographed Kendal Calling, The Charlatans at Delamere Forest, The Happy Mondays at Junction 16, Betley, Sandbach Fake Festival as well as Crewe Live and the Nantwich Jazz and Blues Festival!

Here are some of our photos from Live From Jodrell, Transmission 007:

Venue: Jodrell Bank Observatory: Live From Jodrell Bank Transmission 004
Photographer: Simon J. Newbury

Quite possibly one of the best backdrops to a music festival, Jodrell Bank in Cheshire makes a wonderful setting and all the more nice in the summer sun! Simon J. Newbury Photography has photographed every ‘Transmission’ to date and this year the events were kicked off with the Australian Pink Floyd and Hawkwind.

We have photographed both bands previously and I know that both bands put on a wonderful visual show. Hawkwind have a series of fantasy characters and the light show put on by Floyd is amazing. It was also great to see Forecast on the bill. We have photographed them many times locally at The Box and even gave them their first ever gig at Boxjam a few years ago!

These are a few photos from Transmission 004:
