Geri Halliwell causes chaos as she leaves the Ivor Novello Awards in London

The 2013 Ivor Novello Awards were held yesterday afternoon at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane in London an event which traditionally honours hit writers from the world of rock and pop. Thought I’d take a look and see what was going down……if anything.

Emeli Sande and Calvin Harris seemed to dominate the headlines for this event which had a guest list including Alt-J, Ben Howard, Beverley Knight, Calvin Harris, Cerys Matthews, Gavin Rossdale, Geri Halliwell, Jake Bugg, Katy B, Liam Gallagher, Lianne La Havas, Lily Allen, Michelle Gayle, Natasha Khan, Noel Gallagher, Peter Gabriel, Randy Newman, Richard Jones, Sarah McDonald, Shaznay Lewis and not forgetting The Maccabees.

Passed on the arrivals for this event and thought why not try Departures for a change and see whats cooking.  Wrong move! Turned out that some paps thought “Yesssss this is the place to be” as well and it turned into be a bit of rugby match free for all. What fun? Maybe I should have gone to the slightly more civilised arrivals after all…… or maybe one of the other 3 events on that night far away somewhere else. Hmmmm?

Geri Halliwell seemed to cause absolute chaos when she left the event and she dominates the photo gallery.

Lewis Hamilton and Celebrity Spotting at the ITV Studios London

A few pap shots taken from a visit a couple of days ago (Thursday Evening 25 April) that have been sitting on camera. These were taken from a casual visit at the ITV Studios on the Southbank via the rear entrance. Meat Loaf was supposed to be arriving hence the visit.

Casual is the operative word here and managed to get a rather grainy but passable shot of a nano second moment of Lewis Hamilton giving us a wave (heavy cropping shot only good for web use) taken in machine gun mode. The quality is absolutely awful but it’s such a good shot…………it just had to be here. Lewis Hamilton walks as fast as he drives in Formula 1 trust me on that! Question is, is he taking a picture of me with that phone? Also American stand up comedian Reginald D Hunter taken moments earlier at the ITV Studios rear entrance, who came over to have his picture taken and sign a few autographs. No Meat Loaf shots as had to leave at 7pm sharp to be somewhere else.

Results of the ITV Studios pap photo session below. All shots are crops hence the reduced IQ but they are good candids hence the inclusion here!

The Duchess of Cambridge was in attendance at the National Portrait Gallery last night for an event to celebrate the work of The Art Room.

The Art Room is a charity which uses art to increase children’s self-confidence and independence, was marking its 11th anniversary and launching a new fundraising campaign at the event last night, attended by 250 artists, school children and supporters including Marc Quinn and Jenny Savile.

Kate dazzled as she always does in a 1950s’ style duck-egg blue empire-line Emilia Wickstead cocktail dress.

Very difficult situation to shoot in with large crowds and a time span from arrival to entering the gallery was a mere 30 seconds with a mere cursory glance in the direction of the press.

Jessica Wright at the Olympus Has Fallen Premiere London

The Olympus Has Fallen Premiere was buzzing the BFI IMAX last night 3 April in London with it’s European Premiere and there was an extensive guest list for this event.

With the main action centred around the films leads of Aaron Eckhart and Gerard Butler the female stars had to pull the stops out to ensure they shone as brightly as the Eckhart and Butler combo.

Guest on the night included The Voice Finalist Bo Bruce, Gabriella Ellis, Jessica-Jane Clement, Labrinth, Lydia Rose Bright, Matt Johnson, Natalie Pinkham, Sophie Turner and Swayamongst others.

Difficult to pull a headliner out of this collection of guest arrivals but Jessica Wright seemed to do it for us here on the night with Frankie Essex raising a few eyebrows and warming up a chilly night.
