We're thrilled to announce our new collaboration with world-renowned music photographer Tony Woolliscroft. We've had some great moments since we started TEN OF CLUBS, but this one tops the lot!

A master of his craft, Tony spent 16 years touring with the Red Hot Chili Peppers as band photographer. If that wasn't achievement enough, he also spent 20 years touring with Foo FightersThe man is a legend! 

Tony's photographic career started when pictures he'd taken of New Model Army were used for the band's 'Stupid Questions' 12-inch gatefold sleeve. Later, his work for publications Raw and Kerrang led to close friendships with both the Chilis and Foo Fighters.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Responsible for capturing many of the most iconic images of the band, Tony's book Me and My Friends: Red Hot Chili Peppers not only showcased his photography, but also shared previously unheard personal anecdotes that give a genuine insight to the band. It's a great book and a must-read for fans.

Chili's drummer Chad Smith says, in his introduction to the book, "We love Tony and his work so much that he is the only guy we give complete access to for an entire show. That's how much we trust him. His images makes you feel like you're there. He has captured the essence of our band on film."

GORILLAZ, THE 1975, BLUR & MORE

As well as having work published in Rolling Stone, Q, The Sunday Times and many, many more, Tony has continued to be the photographer of choice for artists including The 1975, Gorillaz, Robbie Williams, Blur, Bush, and Jimmy Eat World.

A passionate Liverpool FC supporter - he's proud to shoot the weekly magazine covers and match day program content - Tony's portraits have graced the covers of many official biographies, including Sergio Aguero, Steven Gerrard, and Fabrice Muamba.

Now you can see why we were flattered and more than a little stunned when Tony contacted us about collaborating. His photography is never short of incredible and always effortlessly cool.

COOL NEW CLOTHING BRAND

Tony explains, "I'm always on the lookout for cool new clothing brands to collaborate with. TEN OF CLUBS caught my eye. It's really fun to swap ideas with guys who are willing to collaborate, and to see how we can push the brand. It pushes me as a photographer too, to come up with new ideas and apply my skills in different ways."

We're so proud to be collaborating with Tony. Check out the awesome images he took for us of BMX ninja Brook Taylor repping TOC. 

We'll be sharing more of Tony's work in the coming weeks on Instagram and Facebook. Make sure to follow us so you don't miss a thing.

Stay cool. Spread the word.
