I photographed an intimate gig last night in Hounslow (London). The drummer Phil Page is promoting a book he has just published. I will be posting those images later, but I just HAD to show you this amazing drum kit he used. I lost count of how many toms, crashes, rides and snares he has.
Just check it out!!

A week ago, I was in the Golden Circle area at a Bon Jovi concert. It was just amazing; the band never dissapoints. I was informed that they would ban any “Professional Camera equipment” at the gig so I didn’t risk taking it. I took a small Pentax. It was then I realised just how slow and fiddly a P&S (Point & Shoot) camera is.

Pause are a rock band with a distictive sound, very enjoyable to photograph and Matt (the lighting engineer) really put on a great show around them. Claire Batchelor, who performed solo ealier, also supported Pause as a backing singer and guitar. The real character for me was the drummer, he was just legendary and really played up to the camera; his personality really came through and some of the shots just cracked me up!!

Saturday night, King’s Head. Heard the band Slashed Seat Affair. They gave an amazing energetic performance. Visit http://www.slashedseataffair.co.uk/ to hear their tracks.
Rob, Drummer. I used the Pocket Wizard flash trigger to create that ray of light effect.[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="399" caption="Darren, Bass guitar. "][/caption]
