this shot kindov sums up the gig - amazing musical, wonderful songs, but a little bit reluctant. he’s probably the best singer/songwriter i’ve ever seen live, genuinely up there with dylan or buckley, and for all people say he did seem to be enjoying himself on stage.
the shots turned into an exercise in shadow to some extent, but the challenge was good - bit more exciting than just straightforward wash lighting.

This week is looking busier - Razorlight, Dizzie Rascal, the Zutons and the Script - so much more blogging to come!

funny gig - really ambient for the first hour, then it kicked off and the last 20 mins was blinding. plus, nice to go to a gig where they asked people not to use flash in the audience, and people didnt. actually helped the atmosphere more than i expected, so good one there.

Not my usual gig, or my kindov music, i think it’s fair to say…still, a bit of variation never hurt anyone…too seriously.

over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
much, much better than the last time i saw them, a much more complete sound and the new song, alleycats, was one of the best tunes I’ve heard in ages.

a bit strange to see a gig finish by half nine on a saturday, but what a top live band. if you don’t have a copy of the seldom seen kid, go and buy it. NOW!

cant believe i forgot to blog this haha! wont grumble too much about the band - decent tunes, tightly executed - but when you’re surrounded by middle aged people trying to re-live their youths (in some cases literally fighting their way past 2 whole rows of people) it’s just a bit odd.
