Primal Scream, Baxter Dury and Mozart Estate at Bristol Beacon - 31/03/2025
I first photographed Primal Scream in 2023 and not only were they a great live band to listen to, but they were brilliant to photograph. So when I heard that they playing at the Bristol Beacon I knew I'd want to photograph them again. As the date of the gig approached though, my car started running roughly and my confidence on making a successful return car journey to Bristol wasn't high!
But there was no way I was going to miss this gig so I decided to get the train through to Bristol. The journey to Bristol was fine, but let's not talk about the journey home. All I will say is that it took a very long time!
The following morning as I processed the photos and saw what I had captured I forgot about all my travel woes from the previous night. Not only did the photographs make it worth the effort, but also the joy of discovering artists like Baxter Dury for the first time (who was also fantastic to photograph).
It wasn't just the photos that made the journey worth it. Every now and again you discover a new band or artists that you haven't heard before but you connect with. I thought Baxter Dury was excellent and I'll be keeping an eye his tour schedule to see if I get another opportunity to photograph him.
Here's the photos from my Monday night adventure to the Bristol Beacon. Enjoy!
