Before I get off to bed actually..





I've remained sat on these for some time, they were shot mid October - I fell in love with the location when I was searching for somewhere to shoot the band, the stunning 15th century buildings were originally the housing for the college of priests (secular) which were a part of Manchester Cathedral (then a Collegiate church), later in 1653, a Library was established. The room the first image is shot in, which is the libraries reading room, is the room where Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels met and researched on the development of the political theory Marxism.

Anyway.. these shots have gone up on the bands myspace so I figured I'd post them here too. Look out for other shots from this session in the music mags, they have a new album out early 2009 - awesome band.
