Roni Size

We’ve just undertaken some portrait work of Drum and Bass supremo Roni Size and composer William Goodchild. In an incident almost as embarrassing as when my flash gear died during a once in a lifetime shoot with supermodel Sophie Dahl, I got hopelessly lost trying to find the studio

and arrived sweating, flustered and in exactly the sort of state you never want to be in when meeting a musical legend. Roni was about to head off for another meeting but, after cutting my garbled apologies short with the phrase “Stop talking and get shooting” graciously stayed for a further five minutes to let me get the shots. Nice guy.
The pictures will help to promote a one-off evening commissioned especially for the opening celebrations of Colston Hall’s new foyer development. Roni Size is working with orchestrator William Goodchild on a piece that combines his own musical influences with that of his band Reprazent, Bristol’s chamber orchestra The Emerald Ensemble and a choir.  The concert is taking place on Friday 25th September at 8pm.
