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.

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….

Our good friends Slashed Seat Affair have just signed a wordwide publishing deal so GigPhotographer wanted to ask them a few questions in light of the good news.
GP: For those that don’t know who you are, tell us a bit about yourself.

I could throw so many cliches and superlatives at this band that it would become inappropriate so I won’t go on about how they work up Buckinghamshire with their performance, nor will I talk about how like real Pros they went on stage and gave it their all even though the lead singer Ellie had little rest after a previous day of rehearsal and gigging until the wee hours. And one thing I won’t ever mention is how throughout the day they behaved like rock stars, swearing, poking, sticking up …

I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER!!!
Put very simply, I wanted three of the bands I love to photograph into one big group shot. I had a small window of opportunity to get this done at the Aylesbury Festival over the weekend. It was a matter of contacting them on Facebook, getting them to agree to it initially and then figure out when is the best time to get everyone together. The latter was problematic because the bands were on at very different times to each to each other!

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.

As a surprise I arranged for a birthday present for my mate Kelly. After persistent asking she never told me what she wanted so I ask one of her favourite bands Slashed Seat Affair if they could do me a big favour; because the guys are such gems they were very keen and generous to help.
I received it this morning and put it in a frame. But before I wrapped it up I just had to take a picture because I thought it was just so damn cool that the …

The band has joined the world of blogging so expect to read more insight into the band’s life.
