On Wednesday night I was lucky enough to get an invite to see my old pal Emma Brammer and the others of her awesome vocalist trio and of the trio singing with with Noel Gallagher and his High Flying Birds at the Harbour-side Amphitheatre for Bristol Sounds Music Festival Week.
The Sun was toasty, the drinks were flowing and the birds were flying high as their spirits were too. This was the bands last gig prior to Pyramid Staging it at the 1st Glastonbury Festival since Covid messed up live music!!
I was very, very glad to be invited and even more so not to be disappointed by the evening. A gorgeous setting on a beautiful day in Brizzle, incidentally the home town, of one of my oldest pals, Tall Tom, .
I really enjoyed the first part of the set Noelโs newer writings on the set listโฆ..but the earlier tracks he wrote for Oasis, (that I personally grew up on), had me and loads of the crowd captivate in the later half as the sun dropped as the crowd bounced to Wonderwall and a few other classics.
Too see Emma on stage in another amazing setting was pretty darn cool, even more so to catch up after and be invited back stage to meet the band. Thank you ladies and gents that I met, youโre like my pal Emma, decent and pretty darn cool.
Overall it was an awesome gig and a great Bristol crowd on a sunny afternoon and evening, just what was required ๐ Enjoy the main stage at Glastonburyโฆyou lucky brilliant bandstuards ๐
Any of my first outdoor gig shots any good Shaz? I managed to get a great spot just above the level of the crowd, right of the sound booth and a cracking view of the stage, Using my fastest lense at F1,4 & F2, plus the crop factorโฆ..Maybe not enough reachโฆ..but worth the effort I think? โฆ..another batch to follow, in-fact loads to follow โฆ..Hope you got that Tattoo you were after and a decent swim, somewhere for a goodyin and then a shower? Thanks again for the chats n tips, youโll get an invite to my first photography exhibition ๐ This is not the end, simply the start of a new beginningโฆ
