Having a cuppa with the great Marco Mendoza

Forgive me a little indulgence to include some text on this one. It was so sad to hear of Tina’s passing earlier this month. She loved photography and all that went with it – the joy of live music, meeting people, supporting new artists and not least her family – her passion for all of it was obvious. Tina sent me images for this and our music photography feature a few weeks ago; she was a big part of Breaking Glass and I’ll miss our conversations very much.
