Nine pictures from Victorious 2019 including Lewis Capaldi and Ziggy Marely

Photographer Paul Windsor took these pictures of Victorious in 2019 and recollects his memories:

‘Even though I have photographed every Victorious Festival there is still a sense of thrill in picking up The News on the following Monday morning to see how much of my hard graft has been published. None more so than in 2019 when I was thrilled see my picture of Professor Green taken from the Castle Stage filling the whole of the front page.

‘I was even more delighted to see a staggering 11 pages of coverage taken by mostly by myself and colleague Vernon Nash. I was fortunate to know the stage manager Dave Cronen who let me up on stage for certain bands, so I was able to capture some iconic pictures.

‘The festival was probably most notable for the appearance of Lewis Capaldi. It was rumoured when he was booked the previous December he was paid £15,000 pounds. No doubt you’d have to add a nought to that now. It’s thought it was the biggest crowd ever for an artist at Victorious. My crowd shot was taken by standing on the wall between the Castle Field and Bandstand.

‘Other highlights included New Order who headlined Friday. It was the first time I had seen them since 1982 at Walthamstow Town Hall. I would have to agree my son who saw them at Bestival, it’s not the same without Peter Hook.’
