You may remember a few months back I ran an article asking for your pictures from the Islington show for a brand new book? Well this morning the finished article dropped through my letterbox and I have to admit this is one amazing book! Vance Kent has pieced together hundreds of photographs of the show all from fans without a professional photographer in sight. If you were there then you really need to own a copy of this to remember one of the most special UK shows KISS have ever performed. This is Vance's first attempt at producing his own book and he's done a great job, quality of the print is outstanding, initial print run has been kept very small to keep costs down so I recommend getting in quick if you don't want to wait. Well done to Vance on producing this & also to all the fans who contributed photos it was great to see a lot of familiar names credited. Finally, big thanks to Vance for using one of my photos and mentioning the site!

The book can be ordered from Vance's site here: http://kissrocksislington.moonfruit.com/ here's the official blurb:-

"It is March 2nd 2010. The Hottest Band In The World are playing a pre-tour warm up gig at the O2 academy, Islington . The smallest venue KISS have played in over 20 years, packed with 500 fans and 300 entertainment industry freeloaders. It really does " Fit Like A Glove " !! For the fans lucky enough to attend this show , the word " Surreal " was being defined and captured on a myriad of camera's, mobile phones and pocket video cams... Digital files that are now taking up space on hard drives , accessed occasionally to prove to ourselves this actually happened and " I WAS THERE ". Now for the first time you can see many of these previously unpublished images , all fan shot... No Pro photography here .. 138 page photographic account in full colour."
