In Your Face has photos from the Final Cut and Soundtree’s summer bash last Thursday night, including what Tim Nash calls “the funniest photo I have ever taken”… Sorry Tim, we just had to show the folks… Actually not just the funniest, surely the most unfeasible. How is this just one picture? Unless you can [...]
Atlantic’s MVA-winning commissioner Tim Nash has been on his travels recently. In LA with Jake Nava for Little Boots, and then on to Cuba with Nez for Paolo Nutini.
