September Girls. Lincoln

SEPTEMBER GIRLS. LINCOLN.

Carl Spring June 18, 2015

Back in April I got to hang out with September Girls for a few hours and shoot some portraits, followed by their show in Lincoln. 

They played a great show and were great to hang out with. Supported by Ming City Rockers, Elephants & Castles as well as The Percussion Guns & The Unknown Stuntmen. It seemed a shame that some of those in attendance at the start left after their friends band played. The bottom line is, those that did't stay to watch September Girls are the ones who really missed out.

JOHNNY MARR. LINCOLN.

Carl Spring October 31, 2014

I don't normally get all fanboy when shooting gigs, but this is Johnny Marr and he is playing Panic while I take photos of him! This was the kind of moment when you stop shooting mid song, look around and think, how the hell did I get here? 

Johhny Marr covered more Smiths songs throughout the rest of the show which, as a Smiths fan is great, but a little more disappointing was the reaction from certain parts of the crowd (or some of those I was stood near at least) to anything from Marr's solo career. Many spend time between the classics looking at their phones waiting for the next "proper" tune to come along, which they sing word for word, like a drunk uncle at a karaoke bar.  

I also met the front row fan who delightfully told me that "I better not fucking ruin my view or else". I never figured out what "or else" meant, but if you read this, I hope I didn't ruin your night and if I did, I hope you like the photos.

PURE LOVE. LINCOLN

Carl Spring May 5, 2014

"You have our permission to take photos as long as you're in costume and riding an inflatable dingy." This is how my photo pass for this show came about. A reach out via Twitter lead to this reply and my favourite show of the year so far.

This was a show that  saw Frank Carter move from the stage to the crowd by the end of the first song, followed by the rest of the band, ending with the whole band playing in the middle of the room. It is one of those shows I wasn't too worried about shooting, but am so glad I did. The only downside is that by the time this, the tour will be over and unfortunately so will Pure Love. It is sad to see a band this good split, but it is also amazing to see them say goodbye in such an amazing way. RIP Pure Love.
