Over the past couple of weeks my local, The Annandale Hotel has been celebrating its ten year anniversary. The place has stood for a lot longer than ten years, but the anniversary marks the time it’s been owned and run in it’s current incarnation by Matt and Dan Rule.
I saw a couple of the gigs, and took a photo for Drum Media to coincide with the anniversary.
While i wouldn’t normally call myself a Jimmy Barnes fan, it was pretty special watching him belting out the hits like Khe Sanh, Flame Trees and Working Class Man. Â I wasn’t intending to take photos, but when Andy invited me along he said i’d regret it if i didn’t, and he was probably right. So i took a few snaps from behind the bar.
They accompany a story he wrote for Mess and Noise, primarily about his cab ride to the gig.
And here’s a couple of shots i did for Drum Media featuring Richard Clapton (who had to leave before we shot the second shot), Jake and Stav from bluejuice, Jay Whalley from Frenzal Rhomb and Pete Kostic from Regurgitator and Front End Loader.
