Gotta say the light show was fabulous, don't know who does the DC visuals but they were excellent, saturated colours and textures sprang up. I think the band have their own light props too, there were alien torchpods and glo sticks as well. You know fun's involved when there's glo sticks :) It's mad how every PG has their own methods of shooting, I don't really pay too much attention to settings at gigs and pretty much gauge the strength of the lights and go for as low aperture, high shutter speed as poss. Gotta stop taking so many but can never resist a quirky pose or expression! Andy: imagine how annoying that must be! New album, new name...gotta love the whiff of confidence! Cauls, please, I just turned up and clicked! There really was a great buzz, you did a BRILLIANT job of making everyone feel at ease and eager to play. The football in the dressing room was an extra-nice touch! Nathalie - Hey, thanks!

It's been a while since I felt that visceral energy from a Whelans gig, from band and crowd, enthralling stuff. Three ace bands who are the nicest dudes ever, and an effortlessly excellent gig to promote. I'll be playing this one over and over in my head.

Really brilliant - I find gig shots so tough cos the meter is going crazy and doing ninety with all the changing lights but you defo managed to get a great range of shots, and loads of them lit up different too! I love the expression on the drummer's face in the fourth one; they're all just great tough, fantastic job :D AWESOME pics.
