Back to Live Music!

It’s hard for me to believe that I haven’t shared any of my live music photography since January 2020. I don’t think I need to go into the reasons why I’ve not been going to gigs. We’ve all had enough of the C word. It’s just unfortunate it doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon!

Enough of that. Let’s talk about the fantastic night I had shooting a gig at The Great Hall in Exeter. It was so good to be back in the pit, armed with my cameras, and feeling that sense of excitement. As soon as Martin Carr & What Future came onto stage my skills as a live music photographer came flooding back. It was if The Kaiser Chiefs was only last week.

Martin Carr & What Future did a brilliant job of getting the crowd warmed up (and myself), and then it was soon time for the main act The Charlatans to take to the stage. I remember The Charlatans from way back and so having the opportunity to photograph them and listen to them live was a real joy. They put on a great show and if you want to see more of my images and read a review of the gig then head on over to MusoMuso.

I hope the number and size of gigs continues to steadily grow in 2022 and that I’ll be there to capture those special moments you only get in live music. See you soon.
