Charlie Parr & Mikkel Beckmen
I chatted the guys up after the show and asked them if I could do their portrait the next day, they agreed so I got up at 6 o’clock this morning to meet them before they got on the train to Rotterdam! I only took two shots ‘cause it was a long night for all of us and they just couldn’t hold still. The weather was bad so I had to shoot with the lens wide open but it totally worked! I’m fucking happy!
Great shot Django!

During a week long residency in March 2013, as part of Glasgow Tramway’s Rip It Up season, Tuulikki worked with choreographer Rosalind Masson and film maker Daniel Warren to explore different methods of intergrating movement and film into a performance/installation of her vocal composition. The resulting work, Air Falbh Leis Na H-eòin (Away With The Birds) will be developed further into a work for Canna, in the Small Isles of Scotland.
Hanna and an ensemble of eight vocalists will premiere the piece at the Tectonics Festival at the Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow on the 11 May.
In other news, Two Wings have been mixing their second album. We’ll keep you posted on it…
Watch Daniel Warren’s video for the title track of Two Wings’ debut album “Love’s Spring” below.
