Rochdale based comedian Jimmy Cricket who has one of the town’s most recognisable faces has shopped local for his latest batch of publicity shots as he went to Norden based photography business Norden Studio.

Jimmy is at present devising a new touring show for 2015 and a pilot version of this idea was launched a couple of weeks ago at a theatre in Blackburn. 

To assist with the future promotion of this show, Jimmy needed to get done some publicity shots and approached Norden Studio owner Graham Sivills.

Jimmy then gathered a few of his friends along, including his son, Dale Mulgrew, who works at his office, to dress up as mock cast members so that the photo would appear action filled.

Jimmy added: "When I thought I needed some new photos, I could not think of a better man than getting in touch with Graham at Norden Studio. Although I have known Graham for a number of years, it was good to support a local business and one which offers everything a national studio chain does.

"The outfit at Norden Studio is really professional; plus Graham has this great ability to take some marvellous photographs, while at the same time having some light-hearted banter and putting everyone at ease.’

"I am really pleased with the images, which I’ll now use as part of the artwork and promotional material for this show for next year."
