"These are photos from the frontline, photos that tell you everything about performance and rock ‘n’ roll, that capture the coiled snake energy of the form. Cormac understands the power of performance and is deeply immersed in the sound and fury. Without that understanding you have snapshots, but with it you have art and danger.[…] Only someone steeped in the dark stuff, obsessed with the dark energy and full of the dark matter can do this."
John Robb, Journalist, Author, Songwriter, TV pundit
John Flemming, Irish Times
Joe Whyte, Vive Le Rock Magazine
“Some of the most beautiful pieces in the book are the audience captures and the artists interactions with the fans. The energy from these images is electric and allows the viewer to feel a part of the event, highlighting Figgis’s ability to sense what is important and documenting it.”
Hels Millington, Louder Than War
“I was at some of the gigs featured in this debut photography collection, but having spent time with Cormac’s incredible book, I wish I had attended more. Cormac’s got an eye, he can take a photo, he lives and breathes music and performance and he has an innate ability to know when to press the shutter.”
