Ye Old London Town

Currently I am in the fantastic but rather wet city of London. Tonight and Wednesday I am photographing one of my favourite bands: Snow Patrol. They are currently on their "Reworked" tour around the UK.

This Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, they are performing in one of the most beautiful venues in the world, The Royal Albert Hall.

I can't wait!

iTunes LIVE: London Festival '09

During July, I had the good fortune to get to see my favourite band; Snow Patrol perform at the iTunes LIVE Festival in London. They were performing as part of a free, month long music festival put on by iTunes at the old "Roundhouse". - A truly amazing venue in it's own right.

Snow Patrol were being supported by one of my other faveourite bands, "Silversun Pickups". It was an awesome night and so much fun seeing the guys perform over in the UK. I didn't have my 30D with me, so I cracked out my trusty IXUS 75 compact and snapped a couple of photos.

Snow Patrol - Hordern Pavillion

Yesterday I went up to Sydney to see Snow Patrol play at the Hordern Pavillion with my mother and sister. They are my favourite band and have been for a while now. This concert was the 4th time I had seen the band play live. I had tried to arrange a Media pass to get into the photographers pit but unfortunately this didn't happen. Not to worry. As usual we were up the front of the mosh infront of Paul the bass player. I managed to tweak the settings on my Canon IXUX 75 camera to at least get some slightly reasonable photos of the guys.

I can only imagine how good they would have been if I had had my DSLR there.

Had another nice long chat to Paul and Gary (lead singer) after the show and Paul had a look through my shots from the night; "Really! Awesome" was his response.

Here are a couple of the shots from the night. (Please forgive the "noise")
