Austin Gold
Tap 'N' Tumbler, Nottingham
This was a great evening but the photography had lots of challeneges associated with it but I will come back to that in a minute. Firstly getting to the venue was a bit of a nightmare, I have been going to Nottingham and Rock City for many years but I always seem to get lost and I really don't like driving around there. This evening was no different, Ant, who looks after Austin Gold's merch came with me in the car but even with VW's excellent SatNav we still managed to get lost!
The venue was really intimate with some challenging lighting but a loyal group of fans made the trip and it was a great gig supported by another excellent band, Sam Millar and the Sass Bandits.
This shot shows how intimate the gig was, there was literally no space between the stage and the audience. A big shout must go out to the crowd who tolerated sneaking in front of them to get a few shots.
