Rockin' (The Rockabilly Scene)
Here is a very small selection of images from my latest book. It was published last spring (2011) and was a complete joy to put together. The rockabilly crowd are a very happy, vibrant and welcoming group of people that get together and party on a regular basis. It was a treat to visit this scene both in the UK and the USA. I really enjoyed my road trip through states like Alabama and Tennessee in search of the roots of rockabilly, and then into parts of the west coast where the scene is more Latin in flavour. The strength of the scene appears to have shifted to Europe and in particular to the UK. The book is published by Merrell Publishers.
