A band that has heavily featured on my playlists recently is The Answer (don’t any of you dare ask me what the question is).  Very, very,veryyyy  catchy songs and Paul the guitarist is an absolute sweetheart. Can i keep him?

I shot this gig with my currently dying canon 30d and my 17-85 and 70-300 zoom i shot mainly 1/125^th and above for this on iso 800. The band had extra power cans at the front of the stage which was awesome lighting wise but crap for the short arses like me who can barely see over the stage anyway haha Lots of colour in the lights as well i don’t think any white lights featured at all, mainly blues and pinks or the odd greens that do make for very pretty pictures.

Loved these guys live the academy 1 seemed a little quiet when the support acts were on but as soon as The Answer came on it filled out a lot more. I missed the first support but when they came from backstage and stood beside me they did have a lot of hair. The second band were so young very sweet and handled their set very well and i got a free badge and fake tattoo
