Gomez

A little sad about tonight. What started out as a one off photo job for 'Babyshambles' in February turned into a 21 gig stint for The Met, ending tonight. Special thanks to everyone at the venue, it's been a great experience and a rare priviliage.

As for 'Gomez', they were the perfect act to finish with. They've already made their name and were out to enjoy themselves. Top entertainment.

The Elected

"Hey, man. We're from California", didn't go down too well with the audience. It was still sunny outside and the venue was nearly empty for the support band, who were introduced to some drunken English heckling! Shame, they sounded very good.

The Wedding Present

6th June 2006 - 666! - Somebody told me that they brought out the re-make of 'The Omen' today. Is everything a copy these days?

The band tonight were a re-gurgitation of an '80's Indie band; the only original member was the lead singer, David Gedge. To be honest, it wasn't really 'a band', there was no unity, it was just 'him' and some other musicians. An enjoyable evening but when they announced that they 'never do encores', nobody seemed too bothered.

Zero 7

That was stunning! She is stunning!

Looking forward to this gig not just because they were the first act to play at The Met that I actually owned some of their music but I also had a new lens to play with. Both exceeded my expectations.

Sia Furler has an incredible voice and a real down to earth playfulness on stage which was totally captivating. 'Zero 7' are like a well oiled machine, I counted 9 people on stage at one point, but they gelled perfectly throughout their varied set.

They can't claim 'Gig of the Year' because that accolade has already gone to Desmond Dekker but they come a very close second.

Great support act for Zero 7 with some very original soulful tunes. When you're photographing a few inches from the speakers, an accoustic set is much appreciated. Hear them at The Big Chill this summer.
