In the first part in GigPhotographer’s RED BULLETS week, these are the exclusive photos of the Bass player Mark Wheeler.
Mark Wheeler (Wheeler to his friends) is the band’s steady underlying beat on bass guitar. He has the typical stance that bass players have, with that added ‘something’ that you know is different and special but you just can’t put your finger on it.
Taking to the centre of the stage, he occupied it gloriously with the lead guitarist and lead vocals on keyboard maneuvering around him. He has some regular poses, …

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

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….

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 …

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 …

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
