Slashed Seat Affair launch their EP

The performance was kept short and sweet, which meant I was permanently on my toes, whipping round to get those all important ‘in the moment’ shots.  It was great to hear some new sounds from the band, and catch a few unexpected additions of Ellie’s performance to the lapping it up crowd…lets just say, monolopy’s not just for playing at home.
This is the launch of Slashed Seat Affair’s new EP, visit their site for more info on this fantastic band….  www.slashedseataffair.co.uk

Slashed Seat Affair at the Albany, London

It was certainly a packed out venue for the launch of SSA’s EP; I could barely make my way to the front of the stage!
I did manage to though, and was blown away by the energetic, full bodied performance by the stunning Ellie on lead vocals, and the perfect combination of Darren, Noel and Rob who accompany her to make up this edgy JUST BEEN SIGNED band that we know by the name of Slashed Seat Affair!
Just a teaser for now, but come back to see more photos soon….

It’s no secret that I love video as as medium. As a young boy I wanted to be a film maker, but my parents told me to be something “better” instead like a Doctor or Accountant(?).
Anyway, I stumbled upon this video; a film maker asked Londoners one simple question. It is no so much the people’s answers that grab me, it is the editing and composition that melts me. This is why film interests me.

Decisions by Lost Minute. The Video

GigPhotographer approached Danny and Adam some time ago about filming a video for their awesome single Decisions. They had never planned on it, but there was an opportunity to have one filmed within a studio environment. So in a very secret location near Milton Keynes myself, Danny, Adam and Natalie shot this video in under seven hours.
I enjoyed the experience and learnt alot about filming quality and most of all studio lighting which is very different from Flash photography.
I hope you enjoy, please leave feedback at tht bottom of this …

GigPhotographer.com is iPhone compatible.

I’ve had an Apple iPhone for quite some time now. I looked at alternatives but being a huge apple fan (got the desktop, the laptop and literally have the t-shirt), I was drawn to the little wonder.
I then looked at the stats of traffic hitting gigphotographer and recognized a growing trend of smart phone users. As things were, the layout of this site was not Apple iPhone friendly. But with the help of a little wordpress plugin I can proudly say GigPhotographer.com is now formatted to be viewable and usable …

Frowser at Bellfest!

Frowser were the last to come on at Bellfest. Adrienne (the even organizer) warned the crowd these are going to be the loudest band of the event. She wasn’t wrong! I sat with a friend Neil who came from Aylesbury to see them. Apparently they have been around for a while. He too warned me they would be electric; as I watched them setup they seemed unassuming. Then they started to pile on their amps. There must have been 5-6 large amps on a stage this is a little bigger …
