In an exciting collaboration that sees a mutual passion for music span the Atlantic Id like to welcome Marc McGarraghy of Yellow Mustang Photography to the Starlight Music Chronicles (SMC) team. I believe it's easy to identify that this is a Live Concert Photographer who has a brilliant eye and his photos speak volumes about the quality he produces (referencing all photos posted in this article and on the front page of SMC)

Based in York in the North of England photographer Marc McGarraghy has converted his lifetime passion for live music into a new found talent for capturing the essence of being there. Hes developed a growing reputation not just for the quality of his work, but for his tireless support of the local music scene and beyond. Using his work to champion local talent, causes and events as well as promoting major artists at large UK venues, Marc only picked up a camera in earnest four years ago, but has quickly become recognized and published for his stunningly evocative images.

Marcs work photographing Johnny Marr at large and small venues across the UK (and in the U.S.) initially caught the eye of the SMC Editor, CA Marshall. Vibrant and passionately capturing a legend at work his shots of Johnny have regularly featured in the official fanzine Dynamic and been widely acclaimed beyond. But his portfolio stretches far beyond this featuring a lot of unsigned English bands and musicians hes keen to support, regular images of major names playing small local venues and a selection of global names at UK festivals and arenas, all taken with equal love for the music and subject. He held his first full exhibition of his work earlier this year (a small selection is featured here and can be seen on his website and some of his most recent work appears on his Facebook page)

*Editors Note*

Im delighted to announce that Marc has agreed to share more of his images with SMC over the months ahead along with a short narrative to shine a light on an artist, a venue or a festival and provide readers with a lens on the live music scene from across the pond
