<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I photographed two amazing gigs last week... my first for a couple of months. Its just been one of those situations where I got so busy with other things that photographing gigs kinda slipped a bit. The first gig was on Wednesday at Islington Assembly Hall. It my first time setting foot in the venue and I have to say I'm a fan. A really lovely place with fantastic lighting and it made me realize <i>I've missed this</i>.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What a way to re-ignite my passion for photographing live music. The headliners were The delightfully unusual Handsome Family, with support from Dutch trio SnowApple. </span></div>

I say this every time I go there, but they have the best staff in the business, polite, knowledgeable and helpful. The headliners on this occasion were the sublime Felice Brothers and I was so excited to get the opportunity to photograph them again. Support came from Willy Mason.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Scala is fast becoming my nemesis... Or at least their smoke machine is... </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">First it was El-P with the no lights/overactive smoke machine setting (</span>if the front rows are choking turn it down a tad eh?) Then a few weeks ago it was Trail Of Dead. Anyway... one of my photos from this gig is featured in this months Loud & Quiet! Pretty much sums up the smoky view from the crowd. As we left the pit after our allotted 3 songs, Conrad helpfully yelled "Hey can we turn the lights up?" indeed mate, indeed...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A couple of weeks ago I photographed my second gig for Loud&Quiet. I'm always wary of any band with the media tag of 'next big thing' but Lower Dens live up to the hype. The lights for the show came solely from the projections that swirled across them as they played so conditions were tricky, but I like the results... Who knows if they'll be the next big thing, but they are a great band and played a blinding set, can't ask for more that that! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It's been a strange old year so far... It started out with the sad demise of <a href="http://raggedwords.com/" target="_blank"><i>Ragged Words</i></a> (or sad pause, I hope?) who gave me the opportunity to photograph so many amazing bands and musical heroes. However, the loss of the work I got through them spurred me on to put myself out there a bit more and approach new sites. Happily, alongside the work I already do for <a href="http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/" target="_blank"><i>The Line Of Best Fit</i></a> and <a href="http://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/" target="_blank"><i>God Is In The TV</i></a>, I've now been taken on by <a href="http://www.the-fly.co.uk/" target="_blank"><i>The Fly</i></a> and have my first gigs for them under my belt. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In addition, I shot my first gig for <a href="http://www.loudandquiet.com/" target="_blank"><i>Loud & Quiet</i></a> earlier this month. The new issue came out yesterday and as luck would have it, I was at an in store performance at Flash Back records in Islington last night & they'd had their delivery, so I was able to grab a copy on release day. Rather excitingly I have a photograph of Sunless 97 featured, fulfilling one of my long time ambitions of being in print, in a music paper. I have had stuff printed before, but Rock sound didn't credit me and the other two publications weren't music press as such. I know, I'm splitting hairs here, but it's an important distinction for me!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You can pick up a copy of Loud & Quiet at any one of 105 music venues, pubs or cafes in London or 119 venues nationwide. They have a full list of stockists <a href="http://www.loudandquiet.com/category/stockists/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So anyway, here it is and I hope to be shooting many more gigs for them!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm very excited to have been taken on to shoot gigs for The Fly. There are so many great photographers working for them, so it's a real honour for me! My first gig happened to be photographing for a review Lewie was writing for them. It was a great night, with support from the sublime Kevin Devine. I love Cargo as a venue, but lighting wise, the support and most band members other than the lead singer are invariably in almost complete darkness, therefore the photos make it look like Cursive is just one man... they're not! Tim Kasher happens to be a great front man though, snarling, gesticulating & menacingly pointing throughout the set, providing a great visual focus and the opportunity to grab some interesting shots.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Earlier this month I got to photograph a true legend for The Line Of Best Fit. Bob Mould performed all of the seminal 'Copper Blue' album live for the first time, along with solo songs and Husker Du classics</span></span>. <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Not only did I have the great privilege of photographing, as my boyfriend was reviewing and I was his plus one, I got to stay for the whole show. This involved a lot of running about between the stage door & main entrance (via the street!) to get to and from the pit & the balcony where we had a seat almost right over the stage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As ever, the security at Shepherds Bush Empire were brilliant. They are consistently the most professional, knowledgeable and likeable bunch of guys 'n gals in the business, they are one of the reasons shooting here is always such a pleasure.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Last month (yes, I'm a little slack in posting this) I was asked to photograph at Blue Balloons launch party for debut album 'Hearts Are Pretty Heavy'. This night was also the official launch of <a href="http://marketstallrecords.tk/" target="_blank"><i>Marketstall Records</i></a> (it's been up and running for some time, but hey, why not celebrate twice!)</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> and what a night it was. Three bands (support came from Dexy and Happy Mammoth) good friends, that lovely Fox lighting... and lots of blue balloons!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> 'Hearts Are Pretty Heavy is available from Marketstall Records site, as well as independent retailers in London, Brighton & Manchester.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Starting last Thursday and running for six weeks until the 14th of June, I have a small exhibition on at Lewishams infamous pub/live venue The Fox. Entitled 'Another Shot In The Dark' (my first ever music photography exhibition a few years ago was called 'Shot In the Dark') the exhibition was hung to coincide with the biggest weekend of the year at The Fox, the annual May bank holiday two day music festival known simply as FoxFest.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As well as providing an exhibition that I hoped would be of interest to the attending music crowd, for me it was a great opportunity to see my images in print, something that happens very rarely, if ever. I'm used to seeing my images on the screen, but there's really nothing like the sight of a lovely 10 by 8 print, neatly mounted and hanging on the wall. It's given me the chance to re-assess those images and in some cases, really appreciate some of the images for the first time. In the rush of taking and editing the shots and getting them off to whoever I'm shooting for, there's rarely time to stop and really <i>look</i> at them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As I haven't blogged on AltPhoto for a while</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and
given that a couple of the photos I chose for the show haven't been
featured on here or my website (indeed, one has never seen the light of
day on-line before) I thought it would be interesting to tell the story
behind some of these images, and to post them here, for those of you
unable to make it to Lewisham in person. As a photographer I'm
interested as much in <i>how </i>the photographer got the shot, as in the final image itself.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What
was the gig like? What were the conditions in the pit? The incidental
things that make a difference to getting the images you want.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is a great example of why it's good to print your images, this one really came alive for me when it was printed and mounted. Although I like the image before, I <i>loved</i> it in print form! Printing really brought the colours out. Mr Mascis didn't move around much on stage this day, but he obligingly stepped back for a few moments to play right in front of the speaker stacks to make for a more interesting composition. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is the only photo in the show in black and white. On the night, the blue lighting was so extreme that all the band came out looking like smurfs on the screen. I adjusted the images to black and white, not only because they looked better, but also as a nod to <a href="http://www.soulcatcherstudio.com/exhibitions/peterson/index.htm" target="_blank">Charles Petersons</a> photos of the Seattle music scene in the late eighties and early nineties. One of the things I love about this photograph is the compositional element that the lighting rig offers in the top left corner. Unfortunately this is missing from the 10 by 8 image in the show, my preferred version is this one.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Waiting on the VIP terrace with my free beer (yeah, being a photographer isn't all bad!) I was hanging out with some lovely photographers while we all nervously watched the clouds... it didn't look promising. Luckily the rain held off for both the support and the headliners and as we were led out to the sage by security, the clouds lifted somewhat. The lighting for the gig was great, but Jim James was on the right in the shadows and the red lighting... thankfully in the third song he came right to the centre of the stage to play a furious guitar part and this became one of my favourite photographs of all time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I wanted to include a couple of images taken at The Fox itself. The pub has some of the best lighting in London, rivaling (and in some cases far exceeding) even the biggest venues. It's always a pleasure to photograph here and <a href="http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4278770" target="_blank">You Killed Me First</a> were no exception. I photographed them at their first ever gig and their presence and energy was amazing. I think they only played a handful of shows, which was a shame, I hope they manage some more, other bands and geography allowing. The link below has more shots from the night, I should point out that the first one in the set isn't mine, but one of Gary William Keenan's from <a href="http://www.cut-out-and-keep.com/" target="_blank">Cut Out & Keep</a>.</span></div>

I was so unbelievably excited to be photographing both the Felice Brothers and Craig Finn in support in such a tiny venue (the other London stop on their tour was 1500 capacity Koko) the band were literally four feet away from me. I was tempted to move after my allotted three songs as it was getting a little claustrophobic in there, but I was rooted to the spot and there was no way I wanted to give up this veiw. This shot of James was my favourite from the night, I love the pattern his accordion makes. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This gig was a big deal for me, I'd managed to get a pass through the venue as I'd been photographing there for NME.com quite a bit. The Avett Brothers were touring 'I & Love & You' which was my favourite album that year and the gig was sold out. I have to confess to having a bit of a fan-girl crush on Scott Avett and as they started their set I almost forgot I was there to photograph them and not just swoon at them. I love this photograph, not just because of Scotts expression, or his gesture, but because I know he was singing one of my favourite songs of all time (Head Full Of Doubt/Road Full Of Promise) as I got this shot. I know that it might not matter to most people what song is being played as the image is taken (hell, most of the time I can't even remember) but on this occasion, it sums up that year, that album and one very special moment for me in my photographic career.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was one of those gigs where you can almost feel the hype as you walk in the door. Happily, Anna Calvi more than lived up to her reputation. It was another no-pit gig so I was down the front in the crowd trying to both hold my spot and not get in the way. Sometimes being a gig photographer is a bit of a lonely thing... we rarely get plus ones and there's a lot of waiting around (<i>especially</i> when there's no pit and you're in at doors) so it's always nice to catch up with other friendly photographers, or meet a new one. On this occasion I met the lovely <a href="http://www.rugfoot.net/" target="_blank">Rugfoot</a> and we passed the time talking about photography. When she came on stage in her trademark red top & matching lipstick, Anna Calvi wowed from the start.</span></div>

Press clearance on the day was sketchy and I was waiting in the press tent for an age before we got the go-ahead at the last second. It was well worth the wait, the lighting was perfect, I was standing in just the right spot in the pit and he was standing near the front of the stage (the main stage at the Big Chill is about 8 feet high and I'm only five six) It was one of those occasions when I just knew I had a couple of killer shots as I left the pit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Photographing this gig was both the most challenging and the most fun I've ever had. Wayne came out ahead of the start of their set to make a speech of sorts, and while I was lining up a shot, he looked over at me, straight in in the eye, and gave me a massive grin. All reason nearly went out the window right there and then! The show kicked off with the release of hundreds of giant balloons bouncing into the pit (and off cameras!) followed by Wayne in his hamster ball. So while I was battling rogue balloons, I was also jostling for space with about 30 other photographers trying to get a shot of him as he rolled back to the stage. The rest of the three songs in the pit were spent in a hail of glitter confetti, balloons and clouds of smoke. We all got out with ourselves and our kit in one piece I'm happy to report.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Photographing at The Union Chapel has its own set of challenges. The small, intimate venue is a working church (on previous occasions I've photographed from the front pew!) so there's no pit and the venue tends to play host to acoustic sets, meaning the click of camera shutters is very intrusive. I spent most of the first three songs of Thurstons set, on my knees on the stone floor, crouched close to the stage so as not to get in anyone's way. I noticed that the lighting on the capital of the column behind him made it look like a crown, so I waited patiently for him to move to just the right position for it to appear directly above his head. This photo has never been shown before, and it's hopefully a fitting finale to the exhibition.</span></div>

It's that time of year again, (well, I'm a little late actually but what the heck) time to look back on the best albums of the year. I know some people dislike lists, yes, they are fairly arbitrary, completely subjective & cause endless debates, but that last bit is the bit I like the most! It's all highly subjective because you know, I like what I like and I'll bang on about what I've been playing to anyone who'll listen. So, this is not a review as such, I'm a photographer for a reason & other people do that better than me so I've linked to some good ones. This is just me getting excited about music and sharing it.</div>

I have been known to declare 'I don't like female singers' but given that over a quarter of this years list is taken up by the girls, I think it's safe to say I'm going to have to stop saying that now. 2010 was a tough act to follow, but there have been some absolute gems this year. So, contrary to how everyone else does theirs, I'm starting from the top, and as much as I've tried to put this in some kind of order... it's interchangeable in many places... put simply, these are the songs I've been obsessing over this year, the ones that have been on repeat, the ones I have been bugging people to listen to.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After falling head over heals with the New Jersey two pieces 'Slow Dance To Soft Rock' EP and various demos earlier this year, this was one of the most highly anticipated albums of 2011 for me. However, I was worried. So many demos and EPs that I love have become over produced and lost in translation on the way to becoming full length studio albums (Dave Hause I'm looking at you) but this is every bit as good as I had hoped. All the twiddly bits are left in and none of the charm has been lost at the mixing desk. Infectiously good choruses and anthemic instrumentals sit next to beautiful, neurotic, almost confessional lyrics that also raise a smile. This album has been on repeat since it was released in September and there's no doubt in my mind that it deserves the top spot, as well as wider recognition. The band are currently touring in the states, we just need them to visit this side of the pond now and show us what they can do live.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The third long player by Atlanta's best indie noise merchants sees them hitting their peak, and living up to their name; there are orchestral pieces a plenty on this offering. Quiet, simple opener 'Deer' gives way to the pounding beat, growling vocals, soaring choruses and orchestral moments of 'Mighty' that typify the rest of the album. The whole thing can only be described as epic, it's a hugely ambitious album with a big beefy sound and they've really pulled it off. I saw them play in November and they even managed to get this huge sound across in the live arena, no mean feat given the choral vocals and strings that appear on the album. Andy Hull has one of those distictive voices that sends shivers down my spine, quiet and apologetic in one moment and spitting accusations and anger the next. It's a very personal album, sometimes painfully so ('Apprehension') but it's all the better for it. </span><br />

Needless to say it featured high up the rankings in most end of year lists and was Rough Trades album of the year.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think 'unflinchingly honest' just about sums up this album, As David Edwards says in his review for <a href="http://drownedinsound.com/releases/16036/reviews/4142213" target="_blank"><i>Drowned In Sound</i></a>. He adds that like listening to Elliott Smith or Ian Curtis, you know he means every single word. It's a huge regret to me that I managed to miss every single one of his live appearances in the UK this year. Thankfully Pearson is getting the recognition he so deserves so I hoping for more UK dates this year to make up for my loss.</span><br />

They left me speechless... gawping at the stage and wondering how on earth they'd escaped my radar. I sat down after photographing them and tried to express to the person with me how I felt about what I was seeing and hearing. I failed miserably, but then so did he. We sat in silence then, occasionally giving each other 'holy shit how <i>good</i> are they' looks. The album followed not long after that gig and I swear, I played nothing else for a solid week. Stunning, ethereal and completely mesmerizing it's compelling listening from beginning to end.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Rural Alberta Advantage are one of those bands that had been hovering around the back of my consciousness for about a year and a half.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I even listened to the new album, and then didn't listen to it again for months. I don't know why I gave it another try, but I'm glad I did because this is a perfect album. Yep, every single song, no skipping tracks here. 'Barnes' Yard' is in contention for one of the best tracks of the year for me, a fast paced helter-skelter ride lasting a mere 2 minutes and 24 seconds that cries out to be played over and over. 'Muscle Relaxants' is edgy and slightly paranoid while 'North Star' is a love song for the road and couldn't be more different. By the time you hear Nils Edenloff singing the refrains of 'Good Night' on the album closer, I promise you'll be in love, or swooned at the very least.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Given that The Decemberists previous long player was 'The Hazards Of Love' one of my favourite albums of all time, 'The King Is Dead' had a helluva lot to live up to. I know many were disappointed by this album</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, but it's a grower. It may not quite reach the dizzying heights of The Hazards Of Love, but this is a truly superb album and after a good month of listening it's clear that this is another classic. The fact that it's not higher up my list is only tesament to the sheer quailty of albums released this year. Yes, it's exactly what you'd expect from The Decemberists, they are no breaking new ground here, but they do what they do so well, why change it? Here you have 10 perfect songs, at times heartbreaking (Dear Avery) at others foot stomping (Rox in The Box) but always, always of the highest song writing calibre. <a href="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15000-the-king-is-dead/" target="_blank"><i>Pitchfork</i></a> gave it an even review, if a little on the low scoring side.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">AA Bondy is another one who set himself a tough act to follow, but I do believe (excuse the pun) that 'Believers' (his third full length album) is his best, most accomplished album to date, it has many more stand out tracks, it feels fuller and more rounded. Such a shame his live dates had to be postponed... the prospect of hearing something like the slowly pounding hypnotic lyrics of 'The Heart Is Willing' played live would have been such a treat. Thankfully he's back in March to play the rescheduled dates. <a href="http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/2011/11/a-a-bondy-believers/" target="_blank">The Line Of Best Fit</a> review sums it all up perfectly for me.</span><br />

Ex Gowns front woman Erika M Anderson has produced one of the most surprising albums of the year. Surprising in that I like it. I'm not known for my love of female vocalists, but this, oh this hits the spot. Noisy, unapologetic, shouty yet vulnerable, she sings, whispers, screams and chants over sparse keyboards, chunky guitar lines and screeching feedback. I love here when she's quietly cracking up ('Marked') I love her when she's spitting venom ('California') and when shes' just plain disturbing ('Breakfast') I love that she can wear a t-shirt and old long johns on stage and yet ooze sex appeal. She's intelligent, feisty and independent. Just how I like my girls on record. For half of May & all of June, this is ALL I listened to.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have to confess that I'm a total sucker for singers with more than a notable trace of a Scottish accent in their vocals, so it was a dead certainty that I was going to fall for this. Kenny Anderson</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'s voice layered over simple guitar lines and swelling accordion on 'John Taylor's Month Away' are enough to reduce to me a wobbling mess and 'Bats In The Attic' enough to reduce me to tears. At just seven tracks and a little over thirty minutes long, it may be on the short side, but what it lacks in lengh, it certainly makes up for in sheer quality and songmanship. They are playing Shepherds Bush Empire in February and I have to</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">say, it's one of the most anticipated gigs of 2012 for me.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wye Oak are one of the many support bands I saw this year that completely blew me away. Shame on anyone who doesn't bother to see who's opening for who these days as there have been a fantastic array of support bands on the london circuit this year. Anyway, at this particular gig, I liked Wye Oak more than the headliners and have grabbed every opportunity to see them live since then. Their third album is all delicious alt-pop wearing country underwear. It manages to be both warm yet stark with only singer/guitarist </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jenn Wasner and multi instrumentalist Andy Stark providing all the sound, a set up they reproduce live to great effect. <a href="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15195-civilian/" target="_blank"><i>Pitchfork</i></a> gave it a 7.9 out of 10.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The overriding impression you are left with after listening to William Elliot Whitmore, is that this, is the real deal. With nothing more that a banjo or guitar and his deep, rich voice that sounds like it belongs to someone else (you know what I mean if you see him) you're transported to an open sided rail road truck in the American mid-west, watching the agricultural landscape speed past under the blazing sun. Or you're gathered around a dying fire at night listening to Mr Whitmore spin tales of his travels and woes. This is a man who looked surprised at finding himself in London's Roundhouse in November, the only performer I've seen in a venue that size who crouched down to wave and chat with the front row before starting his set, just like he was still in some local bar.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm beginning to see so</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">mething of a theme here... a lot of what I've listened to this year could be filed under 'Sparse Icy Minimalism'... i</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f such a sub sub genre exists. Whispery vocals and heart rending piano lines interspersed with cello lines that </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">chill the spine. It's hardly surprising that the Gem Club duo are classically trained, this album has the traces of classical sensibilities running all through it. Personally, I didn't see much coverage of Gem Club this year, maybe I missed it, maybe they are still a little under the radar? I liked Dusted's review <a href="http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/6641" target="_blank"><i>here</i></a>. Dare I say it, on tracks like 'Red Arrow' they could even out Bon Iver Justin Vernon.

How do you follow up a debut like 'For Emma Forever Ago'. How do you live up to the hype and expectation? Justin Vernon doesn't stray far from his debut in terms of style, but there's something more uplifting, more hopeful about the self titled follow up. The swelling sounds of 'Holocene' make it an album highlight for me, full of the promise of fresh cold mountain air and self realization. My colleague at <a href="http://raggedwords.com/reviews/album-reviews/album-review-bon-iver-bon-iver" target="_blank"><i>Ragged Words</i></a> puts it far better of course, but you know what I mean. It's not better than 'For Emma' but it's not too different either, it feels more like a tentative exploration. The third album will be very interesting I think.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I frequently have an on/off love for Okkervil River. From the first time I heard 'Rider' from this album though, I knew this was going to be a very much 'On' moment. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It took a little longer for the rest of the album to grow on me and although sometimes it did feel like I was persevering where I shouldn't have to, it really really does grow on you. From the anthemic opener 'The Valley' via Bowie-esque 'Piratess' and the sheer genius of 'Rider' you arrive eventually at 'The Rise' and by the time you've traveled the journey a few times, you realize it was well worth it. The Guardians Alex Petridis tells it better than me though in his thoroughly brilliant <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/may/05/okkervil-river-i-am-very-far-review" target="_blank"><i>review</i></a>, worth the read if for nothing more than his description of 'Rider'.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zola Jesus is a different kind of 'Sparse Icy Minimalism' more gothic and electro, but still on the stark & chilly side. Vocally this album really reminds me of Fever Ray, musically, if Trent Reznor had been born a girl with Russian heritage and operatic training, I imagine this is what he might have come up with. In any case, as <a href="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15897-conatus/" target="_blank"><i>Pitchfork</i></a> say Zola Jesus is far more than a sum of her influences. 'Avalanche' & 'Vessel' are clear album highlights for me. I wish I could have seen her live to see how they translated, and seen her perform, I imagine it's a pretty intense performance. </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It feels a bit cheeky putting this three track EP in here... but honestly, it's that damn good that it can easily stand up to any full length album. I can, and have, listen to this over and over again. This tiny piece of genius is 99.9% perfect. the 1% is a lyric that jars so badly, it's like being slapped. You'll know it when you hear it. I hope they're being ironic, but either way, I hate that line. Not enough to put me off listening to the EP again and again. You know when it's good because even though I know every song word for word, it never gets to the point where I've over-listened and ruined it (don't you just hate that?) </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Middle track 'Fuck This Place' is one of THE songs of the year for me and if this were a full album it would be way higher up the list. I can't wait for the next album!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You know how I said that new bands usually have to impress me live for me to love them? Well, Waters are the exception to the rule. I was indifferent to the point of boredom the first time I saw them play (supporting Wye Oak). The second time I saw them, supporting EMA some five months later, there was something there, some lyric or some chord change... <i>something... </i>a tiny shard of something good and irritating that forced me to check out the album. It's been on heavy rotation ever since. There's something quite infectious about this up-beat offering. It's one of those albums where you wake up humming bits of it and just have to put it on. For me, it's got a California sun soaked sound to it, retro but perfectly up to date at the same time, warm and friendly and joyous and just begging to be put on in the car to be sung along loudly too. I'm looking forward to the next Waters live outing in London... third time lucky?

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Herman Dune were another live revelation. My boyfriend suggested I put my name down to shoot them as they were something of a legend and a lot of fuss had been made about their video starring a blue muppet like character and Jon Hamm of 'Mad Men' fame. On the night I was so exhausted that my plan was to shoot the first three and leave. Not only did I stay until the end, I ended up reviewing it, so impressed was I. I've since found out that this is widely considered by hard core fans to be one of their weaker albums, which is impressive given that I couldn't stop listening to this. It's impossible not to smile at songs like 'The long Long Run' and every track is a toe-tapper. This BBC <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/bb8r" target="_blank"><i>review</i></a> sums it up perfectly.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hurray For The Riff Raff starts with what sounds like a ballet recital piece played on piano in an empty room, very 'Fevers & Mirrors' era Bright Eyes. Then Alynda Sigarra starts singing, the banjo and the violin kick in and it changes the mood completely. At points on early listens I wasn't sure I liked her voice, but that was just my natural aversion I think, because after a few months of listening, I think it's a pretty perfect record, heartfelt and honest and drenched in American country. It's one of those records that you don't consciously remember the first time round, but find yourself humming bits of and wondering where it came from.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not sure this is the best Felice Brothers Album, but dammit, it's The Felice Brothers and they can't do much wrong in my opinion. It's a bit of a departure from their usual sound, more discordant,noisier and less sure of itself, loses it's way in places and then comes right back. Given they do what they do so well, it's brave for an established band to go lurching off at such a tangent, there are some real dark undertones here and it's less friendly and angrier than previous offerings ("fuck the news, fuck the house of blues, fuck my whole career, you don't want me here") )but maybe that's what I like about it. If you're new to The Felice Brothers, best not to judge them on this album alone, but you should absolutely listen.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I was dispatched to The Electric Ballroom by Ragged Words at the end </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">of last month, to capture Yuck, playing their last gig of their UK tour to a sold out home crowd </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">(the band are based in London, though two of their m</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">embers hail from overseas) The 90's influenced indie pop rockers played a relatively subdued set in front of an adoring crowd & a crazy light show. I don't know, maybe they were tired from the touring, but I was somehow expecting more, how can I put it, 'pow'. The album sounds like it should produce a raucous live show Anyway, the rest of the crowd didn't seem to mind as I was deafened as much by them screaming as I was by the speakers down the front.</span></div>

love when you go to a gig and get a great support band, a new
discovery, thrown in for good measure. They are on many peoples 'Ones To
Watch' list for next year and that accolade is certainly deserved. My first impression is that they are kind of like a British Drive By Truckers (especially on their 'Low' EP) I'm looking forward to see what they do in 2012.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My second assignment for The Line Of Best Fit was a last minute call up to photograph Bella Union signing Jonathan Wilson, who's 2011 '<a href="http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/2011/08/jonathan-wilson-gentle-spirit/" target="_blank"><i>Gentle Spirit</i></a>' has been causing a bit of a stir. He was out supporting Wilco on their October UK tour, but I caught him playing an intimate headlining set at Hoxton Bar & Kitchen. Support came from the delightful Omar Velasco accompanied by a cellist (try as I might I can't find out his name) the same guy who pops up on electric guitar in Jonathan's band. The combination of stunning music and beautiful lighting (thanks Hoxton B&K!!) made it an absolute gem of a gig. The only tricky part from a photographic point of view, was trying to get a good angle on the 6 foot plus Mr Wilson, standing on an already high stage. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Low Anthem played the Roundhouse last month, their biggest UK show to date. Unfortunately at times, I felt the delicacy of their instruments was lost in the vast space. While the clarinet solos were beautiful, many of the miraid of other weird and wonderful instruments were totally inaudiable, and I was as close as you could get, goodness knows what you could hear from he back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had my fingers crossed that they would have better lighting than their outing to the Festival Hall earlier this year, when they played by candle light (no, not really but they might have well have done) Sadly, us photographers were in the same boat as last time. The stage was <em>so </em>dark that all of the bands equipment had a blue LED light attached so they could find it in the dark. Now I'm not saying that a bands performance should be dictated by having enough light for the photographers, but as I left, a fan at the back yelled 'turn the fucking lights on'. It stands to reason in my mind, that if the people who have paid to see you play cant actually <em>see</em> you, it is indeed, time to turn the fucking lights on.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thankfully, the two support acts were both well lit and well recived. William Elliott Whitmore & Simone Felice delivered surprisingly intimate sets for such a large venue, showing that one musician and a guitar (or banjo) can really fill even a large stage. Both were a complete delight to watch and listen to. Whitmore, who is by his own admission used to much smaller venues, even took the time to chat to people in the front row and was aimiable and chatty throught his set. Simone Felice added some storytelling to his set, giving a bit of background to some of his songs. The good thing about having great supports like this, is that I get to stay and watch the rest of their sets. The evening was a real and rare treat.</span></div>

A couple of weeks ago I was at Koko to photograph The Antlers. Despite the lack of front lighting that's a consistent problem at the venue (they are there, but they rarely get swiched on, so it's a battle with backlighting and dry ice) it's always an absolute pleasure to shoot there. Check out the review link at the bottom of the page, Nik puts the gig in to words far better than I can!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">On the 23rd January 2009, south London legends Nebraska played what many argued was their best ever gig. A fantastic line up of Dexy (joined onstage by Seymour of Ten City Nation & Miss Black America fame) and London indie darlings The Understudies</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> topped with a storming performance by Nebraska made for an exhilarating night.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I had barely recovered from my hangover, before Michael was ringing me to tell me it was all over. I remember standing in my kitchen</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">as he called to explain that the band had decided to call it a day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It came as something of a shock, given they were at the top of their game, but then maybe the highpoint is the best place to stop? Anyway, lead singer Michael was recently interviewed by God Is In The TV so read all about it <a href="http://godisinthetvzine.co.uk/index.php/2011/10/20/initerview-nebraska/" target="_blank"><i>here</i></a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Several months ago, and to all their fans delight, Nebraska announced they were playing a one off reunion gig, and after having to reschedule, they finally made it back on stage at The Fox on the 22nd October. It turned out to be a joyous reunion of band and fans and friends. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This band are important to me, not only musically, but because they became very good friends and because of them, I met not only people who have become some of my best friends, but also my boyfriend. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I wasn't on official photo duty (having dashed from a wedding to make it just in time for their headlining set) but of course, I had my camera with me and couldn't resist a few shots.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The rest of the time I spent 'singing' along to classics like 'The Replacements'. To listen, and I really urge you do, click <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/altphoto/sets/72157612966810744/" target="_blank"><i>here</i></a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So, it's well overdue, but my website had a proper update last week. There is now a decent sized logo, a short slideshow on the homepage, there is a new 'press' section showing where my photos have been used, a more direct link to this blog, all images can be navigated by thumbnails and all of them are captioned under 'info' on the bottom left. Most importantly however, there are almost a years worth of new images</span>!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I was more excited than usual about this gig, not only was it my first time shooting at The Roundhouse, I got to see Lanterns On The Lake in support again. All went well until security scuttled past the long line of photographers in the pit issuing instructions about what not to do during Yann Tiersens set. We had to stay put, wherever we happened to be sitting. No changing position, no standing up. I wasn't in the best place, but it could have been worse I figured. As he performed the first of our three allotted songs in almost complete darkness, it was apparent it <i>could</i> get worse. In song two, the lights were on, but were a sea of awful red</span>. <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The third song was better, but still, it was 15 minutes or so of really hard work to get anything useable. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've said it before, but if bands don't want photographers there, don't have them. If they do want shots of their gig, give us a fighting chance of getting some decent ones. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyway, I managed to get a couple I was happy with:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Lanterns On The Lake are high on my list of the best albums of 2011, and last time I saw them I was completely blown away. Their delicate vocals and violins were not lost in the vast surroundings of The Roundhouse either. I had a rare working-gig beer while I watched the rest of their set and thoroughly enjoyed every second.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On Tuesday night, I was privileged to photograph the final dress rehearsal for 'Piaf!' which opened last night at Ye Olde Rose & Crown Theatre Pub in E17 (or 'Awesomestow' as us residents call it) Put on by <i><a href="http://www.allstarproductions.co.uk/" target="_blank">All Star Productions</a> </i>Walthamstows only full time professional theatre company</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">, it's directed by my very talented friend <i><a href="http://www.dawnkalanicowle.com/" target="_blank">Dawn Kalani Cowle</a></i>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So, this was my very first foray into theatre photography, but Dawn assured me it would be a lot like shooting at a gig, and apart from the lack of bearded men with guitars, it pretty much was! I have to confess, I haven't been much of a theatre goer, but I loved every second of photographing and the play itself. I'm going back next week, minus my camera, to sit back and enjoy it agian.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">These are a few of my very favourite images from the shoot, if you click on the first one, you can view them as a slideshow. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've been so very busy this month & last that I haven't had time to update this blog. I've photographed two weddings (one as a second shooter) five gigs (two awaiting editing still) seen the stunning 'Glamour Of The Gods' at the NPG, been to two private views, three book launches, a charnel house tour, and had five days in Berlin. Last night I photographed my first play (final dress rehearsals for 'Piaf!' at The Rose & Crown in Walthamstow) & I have seen some quite amazing gigs. I also had to spend a week doing installs & upgrades on my iMac, it really has been non stop, so here's a quick photo catch up from three amazing gigs last month...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Atlanta rockers were touring their 2011 release 'Simple Math' a sure fire contender for album of the year in my book! Koko was full of swooning fans singing along to every word and Andy Hall and his crew really delivered the goods.</span></span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Iron & Wine at Shepherds Bush Empire 10th October 2011</b></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I love photographing at Shepherds Bush Empire, not least because they have the best secuity staff I've ever worked with. Polite, efficient, and crucially, always great to chat too while waiting back stage. The thing about the Empire is, you get escorted in and out of the pit and so don't get to stay for the whole show, so there's a lot of waiting around. Tonight was no exception, but both my fellow photographers and the security guys were most excellent company. Not seeing the show might be a bit of a drawback, but on the other hand, you do get to say hi to the bands. The very lovely Sam Beam was most helpful when I got lost on my way back from the ladies and was almost frozen in fear of accidentally walking out through the wrong door and on to the stage instead of back to the security desk.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">September 22nd marked my first year anniversary of shooting for Ragged Words so it's fitting then that I was photographing for them on the same night a year later. It's been a great year & I've had the opportunity to shoot some amazing gigs... & many many more are lined up for the rest of this year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So, it was Thursday evening & I was at the beautiful Bush Hall to photograph Danny & The Champions of the World midway through their UK tour. They were supporting recent release 'Hearts & Arrows' which has been described by <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/jul/21/danny-champions-world-hearts-arrows-review" target="_"blank""><i>Dave Simpson</i></a> as an attempt to 'sound more like Springsteen than the Gaslight Anthem do'. It's a bit of a departure from their last album for sure. About five songs in to the set, the photographer next to me leans in and shouts 'I guess that's all that folk stuff out of the window then!' </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Not that the audience seem to
mind. They were singing along, cheering & lapping up all the onstage
posturing. Danny looked like he was having the time of his life &
there was a certain infectious quality about the performance, I found my
feet tapping between shots & I really enjoyed photographing them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My only criticism was that yes, they do sound like they're from New Jersey & not South London. It's odd. Somehow though, Danny & his Champions can just about pull it off because live, they are good enough to be forgiven.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm not sure I can forgive support act Marcus Bonfanti though... He looks like an English Avett Brother, speaks with an estuary twang and sings like he grew up having his heart broken on a daily basis in south Louisiana. He's technically very good & I absolutely cannot fault his blues influenced guitar playing. I think it's the fake American accent when he sings that bugs me the most... and a lot of the cliched lyrics. He's funny though, I'll give him that... "This song's about I girl I used to see... yeah, I know, another one. This one didn't break my heart though, she just broke a load of my stuff...'</span></div>

EMAs last gig at Cargo was an awkward support slot. I say awkward because even then there was clearly a large portion of the crowd who were there to see her and not necessarily headliner Scout Niblett. The excitement in the crowd was even more in evidence this time, by halfway through the support acts set the hall seemed almost full.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Not only does she put on a great show, Erika M Anderson is the only person I've ever seen who can pull off
mens long johns & unwashed hair & still be alluring. "Do you
like my pants?" she asked before stuffing a carrot into the crotch flap "I showed the to my mom & she didn't like them".
By the end of the song she's chewing the end off said carrot &
spraying it out over the stage. Songs range from breathy & fractured, like
opener 'Marks' with only a violin and minimal beats on the drums to
accompany her trembling vocals, to the all out noise of 'Milkman'.
Closer 'California' is fueled with edgy dark venom as she performs her
now familiar mock hanging with her mic cord. It's a fairly short set, but then they're only showcasing this years "Past Life Martyred Saints" album and throwing in a few covers. It's quality not quantity on show tonight, but the crowd don't let them
get away without an encore though, there was a genuine roar & foot
stamping to get her out for one last song. </div>

I've seen openers Waters before (supporting Wye Oak) but I was
so much more impressed with them this time, they seem much more self
assured and their performance was much more solid as a result. They're pretty energetic on stage, which causes a few problems tonight as the guys bounce around & accidentally stomp on each others pedals. I'm sure
I wasn't the only one actually wanting to go and listen to the album
after the gig. </div>

It's been way too long since I last shot a gig for Ragged Words... it's been a bit of quiet summer, not having been to any festivals this year either. My first gig for them after the summer 'break' was a bit of a blinder. <a href="http://www.johngrantmusic.com/" target="_"blank""><i>John Grant</i></a> was sublime when I photographed him earlier this year at Shepherds Bush Empire, so the stakes were high, especially as <a href="http://midlake.net/" target="_"blank""><i>Midlake</i></a>, the band who played on last years 'Queen Of Denmark' were playing with him and at one of my favourite venues.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Mr Grant & co did not disappoint. Not only that, they fully surpassed even my high expectations.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The thunderous applause that greeted him
was huge, although nothing compared to the standing ovation at the end.
He opened with two new tracks from his forthcoming album, warning the
audience that they were really big downers. After the first 7 or 8
minute song (beautiful but yes, depressing) he sang the next accompanied
only by his own piano playing. "This one makes that last one sound like
zippedy do dah" he quipped. </div>

After he bought out Midlake the tempo
picked up as they launched into songs from last years Queen of Denmark. The set was also interspersed with solo tracks from his days as The
Czars frontman. The other thing that I love about John <span class="il">Grant</span> (apart from the songs of course) is his wicked sense of humour, mostly at his own expense. Not only is there great humour running through his lyrics ("I feel like Winnona Ryder, in that movie about vampires and she couldn't get that accent right and neither could that other guy" never fails to make me smile) but between
songs we are also treated to stories about working with Midlake and when he first met the band... "Now when I first met Tim I thought he was an asshole... turns out, I'm the asshole" followed a song later by "Now when I first met Paul, I thought he was an asshole..." I love hearing him speak almost as
much as the songs.</div>

The highlight of the night is undoubtedly the main set closer 'Queen of
Denmark' so perfect it took your breath away. With three Midlakers
working the same drum kit the sound was incredible. As they played the
last note there was a second of silence before the entire hall was on
it's feet, clapping and cheering. Spine tingling stuff indeed and one of
my personal highlights of 20 years of gig going. Ten out of ten &
then some.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I was the only photographer shooting support band <a href="http://www.lanternsonthelake.com/" target="_"blank""><i>Lanterns On The Lake</i></a>. I never understand why, if you have a pass to shoot the whole gig, you don't turn up for the support. It's quite common for photographers to be at the gig in time & just not bother in fact. Now, I understand the publication they're shooting for may not require them to, but I always think it's worth it. Who knows, they could become The Next Big Thing or the headliner could come out for a guest spot, or as in the case of Lanterns On The Lake, you could discover that they are an amazing band, and who would want to miss out on seeing that?</div>

I was seriously impressed, this was their biggest UK show to date &
I'm glad I was there to witness & capture it. The Royal Festival
Hall is perfect for these bands, the acoustics capture the sound of a
solo voice, every note of piano or violin, every breathy word. Lanterns
On The Lake have a very delicate post rock/chamber pop sound... no
wonder they've been the darlings of the summer festival circuit this
year.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
They have a couple of EPs out, and their full length debut for Bella Union 'Gracious Tide, Take Me Home has just been released. I for one can't wait to hear it & I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the pass to shoot them supporting Yann Tiersen at the Roundhouse next month comes through.<br />
<br />
All in all then, one of the best gigs I've ever had the pleasure to be at... this is what live music should be. For the full set of photos, click the link to the Ragged Words site <a href="http://raggedwords.com/content/photos-john-grant-midlake-lanterns-lake-royal-festival-hall-london-070911" target="_"blank""><i>here... </i></a><br />
<br />
Glad I remembered not to wear a skirt for this gig (all seated gigs with low
stages are awkward to shoot) but I really should fashion some jeans with
serious padding as the low stage requires 15-20 minutes per set, scuttling
about on your knees. By the end of the gig, my thigh muscles were really burning... maybe I need some gym sessions to go with those knee pads?<br />

Ever. Especially if I'm photographing there...</span></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">weird layout, bad lighting, technical issues & 'cool' in an overly self conscious way...</span></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I don't know, other people seem to like it so maybe it's just me... whatever, this night was no exception in my opinion.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Door times seem to be a 'suggestion' because I swear I've never been in on time, so by the time we've all queued, been confused by the signage for ticket holders, guest list & box office queues there's barely time to grab my spot & get my camera out before the first support come on. Openers Mazes are quick to get frustrated with the awful monitor feedback, for which you can't blame them & it plagues them the whole set. They seem to be getting some good coverage, but I remember the nineties the first time around, so their sound comes across as more 'been-there-done-that... next' to me, rather than nostalgia, or whatever it is they're trying to do.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Next up were Veronica Falls... They sound different from most other bands out there & it's not often you see that. Unfortunately they also fell foul of the feedback from the monitor & no amount of pleading at the sound man could sort it out. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My other pet hate about XOYO is the stage... band members are strung out across the entire length, resulting in someone, most often the bassist, being perched on the edge, unlit, way off to the right. Anyway, all my moaning detracts from the fact that in spite of all this, Veronica Falls were great & I was duly impressed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thankfully The Vivian Girls didn't suffer from the squeal of the monitor & for one glorious song the lighting guy even remembered where the 'on' switch was... The girls were furiously fast, energetic & engaging. There was a sudden surge of people pushing to the front to get a better look & the crowd were lapping up every second. Totally worth enduring this venue for!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm not sure about the place as a venue, sure, it's spectacular to look at, but walking out to shoot the first band... the atmosphere is weird... Maybe it's the clouds & the wind & the threat of rain or the fact that everyone must have been suffering a severe vitamin D deficiency by that point in the 'summer'... </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyway, after accidentally starting a rumour about the Head & The Heart amongst the press desk guys and the assembled photographers I kinda had to eat my words... although still not 'my cup of tea' they were miles better than the last time I saw them, more cohesive as a band, sounding fuller & more rounded, I did enjoy photographing them, and from the first three songs (we were ushered out of the pit after that) it seemed like they were putting on a good set...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After their set, back to the terrace for a beer & a gossip with the other photographers... a great bunch of people & I met the lovely Matt Kent at last, after years of on line conversations. He was very honest about my work when I was starting out & his advice was invaluable... check out his amazing work <a href="http://www.mattkent.co.uk/index.php" target="_"blank"">here</a>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After 45 minutes of cloud watching & fretting about the onset of rain, it seemed our luck was going to hold & we were all escorted back to the pit for My Morning Jacket...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Being significantly louder than their support, earplugs were firmly wedged in for the three songs, but I gather they didn't disappoint! The wind picked up just in time for Jim James' locks to get ruffled giving him the air of a mad professor & he strode around stage in his big overcoat, special effects box slung round his neck...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
