Through a series of random events, Kelly and I went to a small gig containing 3 bands last night. One of the bands, The AnyDays, I had already met and interviewed before so it was on that basis we went. The other two acts, FutureTown, The Echoes and the venue itself were completely new to us.
[cut to the chase] – Although the attendance was low, the 3 bands rocked it out. By the time The AnyDays had completed their first song, our ears were ringing! I’m just downloading the files …

A bit later than expected, but here are the Palahniuk photos from the Runway Festival a few weeks ago.

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.

Alight are a four piece band who deliver rock anthems with a touch of 80’s class. They provided a great stage prescene and really whipped out the crowd who really enjoyed their act and their music. GigPhotographer is confident they will be a success in the future.
Gigphotographer has been working with them on a project that I hope will come to fruition soon. Watch this space!

Loud, outrageous and something your parents wouldn’t like. That’s how I describe Black Circles. A 3 piece band that is reminiscent of the heavy metal bands in the early 90s. For me they were the star of the evening. Click on their MySpace page to hear their stuff. http://www.myspace.com/blackcirclesband

Today’s event can only be described as a big gig in a small venue. The Bell pub in Waddesdon was the setting. It is a modest sized pub with a tiny garden where BellFest was held.

I will be pushing photos all this coming week, but I just wanted to say a big thank you to Adrienne from RunWay Studios for putting on a great list of bands for such a tiny event. The quality was amazing, as was the noise levels.
Watch this space for photos of Strange Folk, Bommerillo, Chrystina …

Timing is everything, so even though I totally busy with Wedding Projects, it is crucial I post something about the Aylesbury Festival this week. So this post is just a summary of the two days photographically. I will go into more detail of the bands including my pet project of the weekend which I very pleased about; more will be revealed later in the week.
