On the weekend past i caught bits of two gigs at the Barbican, Gang of Four and Belle and Sebastian. I was trying to take photos but the venue is rubbish for getting anything decent. Photographers have to crouch behind a large row of seats, trying to get shots from a distance while not bothering the people seated behind. Not carrying a decent zoom with me meant the photos were pretty crap. But it was good to be educated about the two acts i wasn’t that familar with.
You saw Belle & Sebastian do If You’re Feeling Sinister?
I am so unbelieveably jealous right now, that is my favourite album of all time.
How were they?
I think it was a bit wasted on me, not being much of a fan and all. But it was entertaining musically, there was a whole bunch of people on stage. And the lead guy seemed like a nice chap and had good banter with the audience.
