The NN Archives is back with your monthly gallery of archive photos – and we’re blaming the festive period and general busyness of December as a whole for this not being posed last month, sorry!
The NN Archives is our monthly dive into the county’s music past over the last decade or so. In this month’s NN Archives, we’re looking at gigs in December from 2020 to 2007. This month is notable for being the first to actually include a 2020 gig – something of a rarity.
December seems to be one of those times where a lot of NN acts celebrate the end of the year with a hometown gig – so there’s lots of familiar faces here.
For anyone here for the first time, this is a monthly trawl through the thousands of photos David Jackson has taken over the years, mixing national touring acts playing in the county and musicians from the local scene.
You can check out May (Part One and Part Two), June (Part Three and Part Four), July (Part Five), August (Part Six), September (Part Seven), October, (Part Eight, Part Nine and Part 10) via the links.
Regular plug as before, go visit https://davidtjackson.com for more content like this from the NN scene and beyond. Most of the content is on the Latest Updates page, but even the gallery page has a selection photos on now!
The final regular point – the further back we go, the worse the camera kit (and photos…) get and the more upright / portrait the photos are!
