As should be obvious from some of the posts in this blog, we love live music and particularly love the opportunity to photograph it.

The band James have been one of my favorite bands since I can’t even remember, but I do know that I fell back in love with their music following the release of their “Hey Ma” album after they reformed in 2007…since that time I firmly believe they have just got better with each release, so it was a given that when they announced they were touring, we bought a pair of tickets. We actually went the extra mile and bought VIP tickets, which allowed us to see them rehearsing 3 songs before the main gig, with a tiny number of others.
They’re very giving to their audience, and so we were treated to 3 songs, the chance to get up close, ask questions and early entry to the main gig so we could be right at the front. I’d highly recommend this if you get the option with a band you love.
