I’m a London-based music photographer and occasional writer and I love documenting gigs and people enjoying them. Having just moved back to London from Scotland, where I first started shooting concerts, I’m looking forward to exploring what the scene down south has to offer with CLUNK! From new acts to festivals, I love what clunk champions and I can’t wait to get started.

Backed by adoring fans, Emei takes to Islington’s O2 Academy to celebrate the release of her 2024 EP ‘RABBITHOLE’

Emei is so loved by her fans, and for good reason. Bounding on stage with energy buoyed by screams, the Los Angeles singer delivered an energy-packed evening of alt pop bangers.

After upgrading the venue due to phenomenal demand, Emei celebrated the release of her 2024 EP ‘RABBITHOLE’ by performing singles from the project and her top hits, including ‘Scatterbrain’ and ‘Better People To Leave On Read’. The best parts of evening were by far the crowd interactions, fans waited with arms of bracelets and roses for Emei and support act and best friend, Haiden Henderson.

The room already knew all the words to her single ‘Crazy Stupid Love’, officially released that very evening, and fell to awed silence when she entered the crowd for ‘Ginger Tea’. With her 37 stop tour well underway, Emei’s stardom shows no sign of stopping.
