I’ve spent a lot of the last 18 months documenting the rise to infamy of Stoke-on-Trent’s New Education.
On a freezing wet November night in Burslem in the North of the city, I was at their studio in advance of the release of ‘Arcane’, their third single for the Kids label. Things are hotting up. Radio One’s Zane Lowe is a huge fan, and their winter tour’s going to cover a lot of motorway.
These pictures were taken as we listened to the New Ed-approved Port Vale playing Torquay United, and show the moments immediately before and after Vale went ahead, and then when Torquay equalised.

I’ve spent much of the last year eating rubbish food in vans, plundering the rider, wandering around empty supermarkets at unsociable hours, sympathising with Port Vale Football Club’s plight, and watching my very good friends New Education move through the gears.

Their second single for the Kids label came out in the summer and things have been warming up nicely. Chris Potter, who did The Verve’s Urban Hymns lp, has been pushing the buttons in the studio, and NME has been saying very kind things.
